The Dallas Redistricting Commission tweaked two maps at its May 2 meeting and is ready to hear the public’s feedback.
Maps 17 and 41 were the plans the commissioners agreed to move forward with.
Commissioner Domingo Garcia modified map 17 and came up with this new version. Commissioner Norma Minnis amended map 41 and came up with this new version. These were both adopted by the full commission after discussion.
Residents are invited to share input on the revised maps May 7 at 3:30 p.m. Register to speak at the public hearing here by 10 a.m. tomorrow.
Commissioners are expected to select their final map May 9 and submit their final proposal to the mayor May 16.
