Neighborhood Council Submits Letter Against Splitting West Roxbury into Two Districts

West Roxbury Neighborhood Councilors have concerns about Councilor Linehan's proposed districts map that would split West Roxbury into two different districts.

In the past and coming weeks the Boston City Council is debating how to redistrict the City.

Presently all of West Roxbury is in District 6, while Councilor Bill Linehan's first proposed map would have District 5 (represented by Rob Consalvo) take over several precincts located in West Roxbury.

Previously, Olivia Waishek, president of the West Roxbury Civic and Improvement Association, has issued concerns about the proposed plans that would have an area including Washington Street, near the Dedham line, join District 5.
