Washington DC Councilmember Brooke Pinto, a Democrat, has introduced legislation to rename a street in the district in memory of Supreme Court Associate Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg. If enacted, a portion of Virginia Avenue — between the Rock Creek and Potomac Parkway and New Hampshire Avenue in the northwest part of Washington, DC — will become Ruth Bader Ginsburg Way.

That portion of Virginia Avenue was chosen because of its proximity to the Watergate complex, where the late justice lived.

Ginsburg was the second woman and the first Jewish woman to serve on the nation’s highest court. She died in September 2019 from “complications of metastatic pancreas cancer,” according to a statement from the Supreme Court shortly after her death.
