Last night they released the Ward Redistricting map which will start off the process described below. After that is done then they will move on to the ANC redistricting. Ward 5 had a minor adjustment as we got back the Ward 6 "chimney" along New York and New Jersey Aves. The part I am more interested in is the ANC as Ward 5 only has 3 groups of ANCs (A, B, C) and I am one among many that think that should be changed as they are too large. I hope that we can get 5 or 6 ANCs which would better serve the neighborhoods and perhaps represent them more efficiently as well. I would also like to get rid of the zigzag ANC that I reside in which includes Eckington and Edgewood across Rhode Island Ave in a weird "Z" shape. I feel it would be better to have one that has the neighborhood more intact. Hopefully Edgewood has grown enough to have 3 full ANC districts instead of the 2.5 that we have now.
