Paper Alleys Planning Amendment Act of 2025

B 26-0179, the Paper Alleys Planning Amendment Act of 2025, requires the District of Columbia Department of Transportation (DDOT) to create a detailed improvement plan for all unpaved or partially paved alleys ("paper alleys") by March 15, 2026. The plan must include a public map of all such alleys, methods for inspecting and costing repairs, community engagement processes with adjacent residents and neighborhood commissions, and cost estimates for full repairs versus community-supported improvements. It prioritizes low-income neighborhoods and high-usage alleys for initial work. This bill directly affects DDOT, residents living near alleys, and Advisory Neighborhood Commissions by mandating community-informed planning before any alley improvements.
