Input Sought on Council Districts

Residents are encouraged to provide input on whether the City of Glendale should transition to Council districts, draw their own maps, share their district line preferences and provide feedback on draft maps to ensure their neighborhoods are represented. Paper and digital mapping tools, as well as a video tutorial for the digital mapping tool, are available on the City’s districting website at MapGlendale.org/Draw-a-Map.

Draft maps submitted by community members and processed by the City’s professional demographer can be accessed and reviewed on the Draft Maps page. 

Residents can provide input at the upcoming districting public hearing and community workshops:

• Sept. 7 – Griffith Manor Park, 1551 Flower St., 6:30 p.m.

Community members can also submit feedback on draft maps and other public comments via email to MapGlendale@GlendaleCA.gov. 

Residents still have time to get involved in the district formation process. A full calendar of districting events and deadlines can be found online at MapGlendale.org/Schedule.
