Bill > B26-0180

This bill symbolically designates a specific section of Iowa Avenue, N.W. in Washington, D.C. as "Rev. A. Knighton Stanley Way" between Arkansas Avenue, N.W. and 13th Street, N.W. The designation is being made pursuant to sections 401, 403a, and 423 of the Street and Alley Closing and Acquisition Procedures Act of 1982, which provides legal framework for such symbolic street namings. The bill follows standard legislative procedures, including adoption of a fiscal impact statement from the committee report and requiring approval from the Mayor and a 30-day congressional review period, which is typical for legislation affecting the District of Columbia under the Home Rule Act. While the bill does not change the physical street or alter its function, it honors Rev. A. Knighton Stanley by officially recognizing this stretch of roadway with his name, likely in recognition of his contributions to the community.
