The ANCs are redrawing their borders — and you can have a say

Ever since moving to Brightwood Park, I’ve wondered why my ANC is 4B, while the other three corners of my intersection belong to ANC 4D. My Single Member District 4B05 is bisected by Missouri Avenue, a large physical divide between the two halves of my SMD.
