[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wrong. The ANC rep for the part of the neighborhood between Reno/34th and Wisconsin - the only ANC rep we get to vote for - will be cut out of having any day on the many issues arising from the area between Reno/34th St and Connecticut Ave. [/quote]

If you live between CT and Reno, you will have a commissioner who represents your issues. If you live between Reno and Wisconsin, you will have a commissioner who represents your issues. Why should someone who lives a block from Wisconsin have sway over what happens on Connecticut Ave?[/quote]

Your agenda to dilute the vote if homeowners is so transparent. Look at a map. These ANC redistricting changes impact the entire area between Connecticut and Wisconsin. As someone who is about to be disenfranchised I’ll tell you I care about having a vote in matters relating to things happening a few blocks from me between Connecticut and Reno/34th- our public school, all the traffic that flows through both parts of our neighborhood, the fire station, the bike lanes, the green spaces, the restaurants, stores, and many more things. The public school, for example, sits in the middle, on the eastern side of Reno Road/34th Street, but neighbors whose kids go there or who are impacted by construction plans, rodents, traffic patterns, parking issues, etc. will no longer have a representative who can formally weigh in and be responsible for these matters. That is just one example. [/quote]

I live in that area, can you give me a link to what they are proposing. First I'm hearing of this. We used to have reps who sent weekly emails for about a decade, but after the last election, I've heard nothing at all from the ANC.[/quote]
