The bill would name the part of Sumner Row Northwest between 16th Street Northwest and L Street Northwest in Washington, D.C., “Alexei Navalny Way.” It would also direct the District of Columbia to install two signs with that name. U.S. records referring to the area would use the new name.
The street segment would have a new official name, and signs would mark it. The bill does not describe changes to other street names or services.
The bill requires two signs but does not state their cost. No publicly available information.
The bill’s findings describe Navalny as a Russian political dissident who fought corruption and promoted democratic freedoms. They say naming the street near the Russian Ambassador’s official residence would express solidarity with people in Russia seeking fundamental freedoms.
