A preliminary map of new boundaries for each of Colorado Springs’ six City Council districts accounts for anticipated continued growth on the city’s north and northeast sides.
District 2, the city’s northernmost district, and District 6, the northeast and eastern district, will shrink to account for expected future population growth in both districts, City Clerk Sarah Johnson told reporters Wednesday.
“… We know that over the next four years it’s just going to get bigger in some places in town. So the focus was really just trying to take a look at where that growth is happening and try to balance that population,” she said.
