Our new ward boundaries, or will they change again?

According to the Post Dispatch, the redistricting proposal, which got on the April ballot through an initiative petition drive, will shift the redistricting duty from aldermen to a new commission set up to limit the influence of city politicians as much as possible.

However, Board President Lewis Reed said a lawsuit would be filed to try to block the proposal and, failing that, to clarify that the new commission process wouldn’t start until after the next U.S. census in 2030. Until that is decided, the map, including our Skinker-DeBaliviere Neighborhood, as voted in by the Board of Aldermen, keeps our neighborhood and the DeBaliviere Place Neighborhood together, but pushes our ward boundaries north to Page, then along MLK, to Taylor to Delmar and Union, to Lindell and Kingshighway, to Oakland and Clayton Rd, to the City Limits point of beginning. Additional neighborhoods included are West End, Academy, Visitation Park, Lewis Place, and Fountain Park.

The Central West End goes into a different ward.
