S.218

Designates a street in Washington, D.C. as "Oswaldo Payá Way" in honor of a Cuban dissident.

The bill designates the area between the intersections of 16th Street, Northwest and Fuller Street, Northwest and 16th Street, Northwest and Euclid Street, Northwest in Washington, D.C. as "Oswaldo Payá Way." It honors Oswaldo Payá Sardiñas, a Cuban political dissident and activist who promoted democratic freedoms and human rights in Cuba. The bill also requires the District of Columbia to construct street signs for the new designation, similar to those used for Metro stations. This act serves as an expression of solidarity between the people of the United States and the people of Cuba.
