COUNCIL OF THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA

COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE

1350 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW

Washington, DC 20004

 

             

TO:                  Nyasha Smith, Secretary to the Council

              

FROM:            Phil Mendelson, Chairman

                                                     

DATE:             January 2, 2020

 

                               

               This is to request that the following measures be placed on the agenda for the January 7, 2020 Legislative Meeting:

 

§  Tingey Square Designation Emergency Declaration Resolution of 2020

§  Tingey Square Designation Emergency Act of 2020

 

               The purpose of the designation is to officially designate the portions of Tingey Street, S.E., and N Street, S.E, between New Jersey Avenue, S.E., and 2^nd Street, S.E., abutting Squares 770, 771, and W-771 as Tingey Square.  Permanent legislation to effect the designation was marked up by the Committee of the Whole on December 17, 2019 and is scheduled for first reading on January 7, 2020.  Enacting the legislation on an emergency basis will make the provisions of Bill 23-104 effective sooner than Congressional review and allow for the creation of official addresses and installation of signage for the new square in January 2020 when several new buildings fronting the already-dedicated, but unnamed, square are scheduled to open.
