District of ColumbiaD.C. would close an undeveloped section of 35th Street NW
After local approval and review by Congress, D.C. would close an undeveloped part of 35th Street NW in Ward 2 and assign ownership using a survey map.
What it does
After local approval and review by Congress, the undeveloped part of 35th Street NW beside blocks 1178 and 1179 would close. The official survey map would determine land ownership.
Argument forClosing the section could let owners shown on the survey map use land the Council considers unnecessary for a street.
Argument againstClosing the section and assigning ownership could make it harder for D.C. to use the land for a public street later.
More detail
D.C. would close part of 35th Street NW as a public street and assign ownership according to the survey map. Only the undeveloped section beside blocks 1178 and 1179 in Ward 2, shown on survey map S.O. 26-01008, is covered. The Mayor must approve the bill or the Council must override a veto. The closure and ownership assignment would take effect after local approval and a 30-day review period for Congress.
