| Since 1991 Ravenswood Manor has been part of the 33rd ward. As many of you know, the city is in the process of ward remapping with two proposed maps. The Coalition map shows Ravenswood Manor in the 47th ward and the Rules committee map has Ravenswood Manor split among the 33rd, 40th and 47th wards. Neither proposal has enough support in the City Council to pass: https://blockclubchicago.org/2022/02/16/voters-should-decide-on-chicagos-new-ward-map-latino-caucus-and-independent-group-say-as-they-join-forces-to-push-for-referendum/ The group behind the People’s Map (an independent group that had proposed its own non-partisan map) has endorsed the Coalition Map, with a couple of changes: https://www.google.com/maps/d/viewer?mid=1uOqszty93bG74r5VyQ2JXIIaATrI-Euw&ll=41.829948734823205%2C-87.67176297079467&z=15 https://news.wttw.com/2022/02/16/independent-commission-backs-chicago-ward-map-crafted-latino-caucus The RMIA supports the neighborhood staying in one ward and not being divided among wards. As previously reported, we have communicated this to the alderman of all three wards. You can continue to follow the process on the City Clerks website: https://www.chicityclerk.com/ (including information on upcoming meetings). If neither map garners enough support the two maps will be up for a vote in June. If that occurs, we encourage you to vote for Ravenswood Manor to stay in one ward. |
