Changes from base Map E to Map E-Amended
• District 1- No change
• District 2- No change
• District 3- No change
• District 4- No change
• District 5- Makes Hilltop whole. Adds North Park hill whole and South Park Hill whole. Moves East Colfax to D8. Why: Important to keep as many neighborhoods whole if we can and these were possible to keep whole and connected to NE neighborhoods. Community in East Colfax advocated to be part of D8 and asked to ensure all Park Hill neighborhoods stay whole. We could not keep all 3 Park Hill neighborhoods together but we do not divide individual neighborhoods.
• District 6- Moved precinct of Hilltop to D5 where Hilltop will be whole. Absorbs one precinct of University neighborhood from D7 to make that neighborhood whole in D6. Why: these moves help keep additional neighborhoods whole.
• District 7- Move one precinct in University neighborhood to D6 where it will be made whole.
• District 8- Adds East Colfax whole. Keeps North East Park Hill whole. Mirrors the Montbello divide in Map D.
• District 9- No change
• District 10- No change
• District 11- Boundary change to mirror Map D - adds one precinct from previous map E.
