S. 4687: Tiananmen Square Memorial Act of 2026

This bill would rename a short stretch of roadway in Washington, D.C. as Tiananmen Square Memorial Boulevard. The designated area is along International Place Northwest, between 3501 and 3507 International Place Northwest.

What the bill changes

• It gives that section of roadway a new official name in federal law.
• It says that any federal law, map, regulation, document, or record referring to that area should be understood to mean Tiananmen Square Memorial Boulevard.
• It redesignates the address at 3505 International Place Northwest as 1 Tiananmen Square Memorial Boulevard.

Street signs

The bill directs the Administrator of General Services to make and install street signs that say Tiananmen Square Memorial Boulevard. The signs are supposed to be similar in design to signs used by Washington, D.C. Metro stations, and they must be placed at:

• the federal property closest to 1 Tiananmen Square Memorial Boulevard, and
• the street corners of International Drive Northwest and Van Ness Street Northwest, and International Drive Northwest and International Place Northwest.

Practical effect
