Plain-language change summary

The amendment to the bill includes a specific payment of $2,000 that the District will receive for closing a portion of the public alley in Square 2319. This financial detail helps clarify the transaction involved in the closure and indicates that the alley is deemed unnecessary for public use. Additionally, the new version confirms that the land will be officially transferred to the District as part of the closure. These changes matter because they ensure transparency in the financial arrangements and reinforce the legality of the closure process.
