City Council Redistricting Plan

So this is the proposal for redistricting the City Council wards that the Charter Commission will forward to the full Commission next Monday. There will be a public hearing at that meeting beginning at 4:30p in room 220 of City Hall (15 W. Kellogg Blvd.). This is on Monday May 23. It is a plan that won't affect Ward 7, the ward we are in, but has impact on Wards 1 and 5, and Wards 3 and 2 a little bit. 


The changes are needed as a result of loss of population in Ward 1 (the Frogtown area), which seems largely a result of the huge impact of foreclosures on that part of the city.


If you want to comment on the plan, next Monday is your last chance. State redistricting comes later...
