The bill proposes to eliminate a portion of 7th Street, S.E. from the District's highway plan to facilitate the modernization of Charles Hart Middle.

The bill seeks to amend the District's highway plan by eliminating a stretch of 7th Street, S.E. running from Mississippi Avenue, S.E. to Valley Avenue, S.E. This 90-foot-wide portion, located on Lots 801, 802, and 803 in Square 5963, is currently unimproved and not used for transportation purposes. The elimination of this highway plan is necessary to allow for the modernization of Charles Hart Middle School, which is partially located within the area of the proposed highway plan. The bill ensures the continuity of Valley Avenue, S.E. in the highway plan once 7th Street, S.E. is eliminated.
