Redwood City Council Expected To Choose Redistricting Map Monday

REDWOOD CITY, CA — The Redwood City council is expected to vote to advance an election redistricting map at its meeting Monday, when it holds its fourth public hearing on the election redistricting process.

Two maps, Draft Plan B and Draft Plan C2, were recommended by the Advisory Redistricting Committee.

According to a staff report, Plan B would keep seven neighborhood associations intact and split 10 neighborhood associations. It would maintain Redwood Shores in one district. Farm Hill and Canyon would be in one district, as would Mt. Carmel and Eagle Hill. Seaport, Centennial and parts of downtown would be in another district.

Plan C2 also keeps Redwood Shores in a single district, and Farm Hill and Canyon in one district. Eagle Hill, Central and Roosevelt would be in a district. Portions of Woodside Plaza and Palm would be grouped together.

Both plans maintain the city’s two majority-minority districts that have larger concentrations of Latino and Asian residents.

If the council votes to advance one of the maps, the ordinance will be introduced at the Feb. 14 council meeting and adopted at the Feb. 28 meeting.
