In a once-a-decade effort to redraw City Council districts, there are some clear goals.
- Put the Beaches area in one council district. Mayport currently is attached to a sprawling Northside district.
- Some districts need to be fixed without creating new problems.
- Reduce the size of the huge Northside district, which wraps around the county like a brain from Mayport, extending all the way to the Clay County line.
- Reduce districts that cross the river. The St. Johns is as much a mental barrier as a physical one. Several districts cross the St. Johns River.
And as the membership of the council's redistricting committee changes, here's another goal: Show up.
