As City Council Fights Over Ward Boundaries, A Resident-Backed Map Is Delivered To City Hall — With No Aldermanic Support – Block Club Chicago

Backed by a coalition of good government groups, the Chicago Advisory Redistricting Commission created a ward map that largely rids Chicago of weirdly shaped, gerrymandered wards that have been criticized for splitting neighborhoods into as many as six wards, while preserving the power of the politicians who drew them. The end result would create 15 majority Black wards, 14 majority Latino wards and the city’s first majority Asian American ward centered on Chinatown.
