I don't see how, or why Rosedale would be ceded to Ward 7 before a lot of other areas except that it would give W7 a toehold on the H St. corridor. Certainly W8 would loose out on that deal. Everything I saw on GGW seemed to point to the border cutting off east of Rosedale somewhere or W7 absorbing W5 areas to the north.Eric Sibleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16657053129596242262noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3984220645852891678.post-72662740560384037822011-04-27T16:14:36.183-04:002011-04-27T16:14:36.183-04:00Rosedale and Hill East truly are in the sights of ...Rosedale and Hill East truly are in the sights of Council members Brown, Mendelson and Evans as being prime targets for being redistricted into Ward 7. <br /><br />I just testified at the subcommittee hearing asking that Rosedale remain in Ward 6 and was repeatedly asked -- especially by Mendelson -- to justify our request beyond the reasons I gave -- political and geographic cohesion, history, community ties and parking. Humbly I must admit I don't think my answers were very convincing as they've heard similar arguments from other areas that don't want to be redistricted.<br /><br />Please take the actions outlined in our call to action, including playing the Redistricting Game on the Greater Greater Washington Website.

If there was ever a time for Rosedale residents to unite, this is it-- being redistricted to Ward 7 would be a big setback for our neighborhood, which has many historical, cultural and social connections to the Hill. <br /><br />Tommy Wells is an amazing councilmember and it would be quite a blow to lose his representation.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
