Ward 5 ANC Redistricting Update – Tentative Final Map Released – Opportunity for Public Comment

From the Ward 5 ANC Redistricting Task Force

The Ward 5 ANC Redistricting Committee met on Saturday, March 26 to make changes in response to feedback received on the three discussion maps on March 15. Feedback was received through the online comment form and at the public meeting held on March 22.

The result is a “Tentative Final Map” which will be considered by the Redistricting Committee in a public meeting on Tuesday, March 29 at 6pm (via zoom). Links and information on this map are copied below:

  • Ward 5 ANC Tentative Final Map
    • Viewable in the online redistricting tool as “Ward 5 Mar 26 Map”. 
    • Link for public feedback on the Tentative Final Map:
    • MAP NOTES: 
      • The specific numbers (ie the last two digits) of the Single Member Districts will be updated so that numbers reflect current designations or follow a single logic. The commissions (A, B, C, D, E, F) reflect how those commissions would be configured.
      • The map includes two census block splits that are not able to be reflected on the map. The splits would balance the number of residents in the two Fort Lincoln SMDs and make a more smooth boundary between 5C07 and 5C02.  

At the meeting on Tuesday, March 29 at 6pm, the committee will consider any amendments to the map from committee members and then vote on the map to send to the Council. The final report is due to the Council on Friday, April 1. (The Council takes up the maps at a hearing on Thur, April 7)

  1. Looking only at ANC 5A, it’s not exactly what I would have advocated for, but it’s better than I would have expected.

  2. I agree with saintpetersbourg, the boundaries of ANC’s 5A01, 5A08, and 5A09 are quite busy when compared to the remaining 5A SMDs. However, I am not aware of the underlying mapping requirements such as avoid splitting Census Tracts (if possible), maintain community cohesiveness, etc.
