Residents and elected officials largely rejected the New York City’s Districting Commission‘s draft for new City Council district lines at a public hearing in Astoria Tuesday, Aug. 16.

The Districting Commission released a preliminary map last month which redraws districts across the city. The proposed district lines aim to reflect the population changes reported in the 2020 Census; the districts are redrawn every 10 years.
