New council map reflects population shifts
The new City Council redistricting plan doesn’t have any radical changes in Brooklyn’s district lines, but those changes that are proposed are significant nevertheless.
The City Council district maps are redrawn every 10 years to reflect new realities revealed by the census. The new map was unanimously approved by the council’s redistricting commission last week following a series of hearings in every borough.
The website of the official city radio station, WNYC, has a map that shows both the existing districts and the proposed new districts.
