Are we going to see any kind of redrawing of the districts to reflect this?

Yes, the districts will be redrawn. But they would need to be redrawn anyway, after the 2020 Census.

Because of population growth, Ward 6 almost certainly will have to shed some people, either back to Ward 2 (basically reversing the 2011 redistricting) or Ward 7 or both (expect a hilariously overwrought outcry from anyone moved to Ward 7).
