On Monday, November 1st the DC Council’s Subcommittee on Redistricting, Chaired by Councilmember Elissa Silverman, released three “discussion” maps drawing possible new ward boundaries as part of the DC Council’s ongoing redistricting process resulting from the 2020 U.S. Census.

- Map One moves all of ANC 2B north of S Street between 18th Street and 14th Street NW to Ward 1.
- Map Two moves all of ANC 2B north of S Street between 16th Street and 14th Street NW to Ward 1.
- Map Three moves all of ANC 2B north of S Street between 15th Street to 14th Street NW to Ward 1.
