B 26-0165 Legislature · 26th Council Period (2025-2026)

Judith E. Heumann Memorial Bridge Designation Act of 2025

This bill proposes designating the Connecticut Avenue Bridge over Klingle Valley (between Devonshire Place NW and Macomb Street NW) as the "Judith E. Heumann Memorial Bridge." It honors Judith E. Heumann, a disability rights pioneer who lived in Cleveland Park, led the 1977 504 Sit-in, and helped shape the Americans With Disabilities Act. The bill is procedural - requiring only an official name change for the existing bridge - without creating new policies or funding. It directly affects the public by renaming a local landmark to recognize Heumann's legacy. The designation would take effect after standard legislative approval processes.
