District of ColumbiaWard 5 street and alley law would be repealed
The proposal would repeal a Ward 5 street and alley law so the surveyor’s office could restore earlier lot boundaries.
What it does
Ward 5’s 2016 law closing part of 14th Street NE and accepting land for public streets and alleys would be repealed.
Argument forRestoring earlier lot boundaries could keep property arrangements from remaining tied to a development that is no longer moving forward.
Argument againstRepealing the land dedications could reduce land reserved for public streets and alleys around the RIA development.
More detail
The proposal would repeal the 2016 street closing and land dedication law. The law covers the RIA development area in Ward 5, including the Brookland Manor apartment complex. The repeal would take effect after the Mayor approves it or the Council overrides a veto, followed by a 30-day congressional review period.
