Mayor releases her council redistricting map
By adamg on Sat, 05/13/2023 - 10:16am
The Dorchester Reporter posts a copy of the proposal by Mayor Wu for new City Council district lines - it would move Cedar Grove and Adams Village back into what is now Frank Baker's district, keep the South Boston housing projects in what is now Ed Flynn's district, but move South Boston from Flynn's district into the district that had been represented by the now departed Kenzie Bok. Line changes involving Roslindale and Mattapan are also included.

Seems reasonable
That said, as the coalition that came up with the previous plan behind closed doors without the input of the affected communities said, it’s probably not a good thing to come up with a plan behind closed doors without the input of the affected communities.
it’s not reasonable
no offense to our Southie brethren, but the Fenway is hardly adjacent to Southie
Incomplete map
Maddeningly, the Dorchester Reporter article includes a portion of the map, but not the whole thing nor a link to it no information as to where one might find it. They obviously have the map since they were able to print an excerpt.
No mention of it on the Mayor's office webpage.
The Herald, of all places, has what they say is the full map: https://www.bostonherald.com/2023/05/12/mayor-wu-looks-to-bail-out-bosto... although it's kind of squirrelly and hard dto read -- look along the Charles River for example.
actually
The article had an attached PDF that was detailed enough you can zoom in and see the wards/precincts.
Article doesn't mention the red lines are current district and colors are the new proposal.
Happy the S End is now in one district not 3.
