S. 614 designates a section of Sumner Row in Washington, D.C., between 16th and L Streets Northwest as "Alexei Navalny Way." The bill honors the late Russian political dissident and anti-corruption activist who died in a Russian prison in February 2024 under contested circumstances. The designation is intended as a symbol of solidarity with the Russian people and opposition to the Putin administration's repression of political opponents and democratic freedoms. The District of Columbia is required to construct and install two street signs bearing the name in the designated area, similar in style to those used for Metro stations. The bill carries no specified funding amount or implementation timeline beyond the requirement to erect the signs.
