Rodriguez, Lisa From: Sent: To: Subject:   HPD ICRC Commissioners Friday, August 27, 2021 9:45 AM HPD ICRC Commissionsers DL FW: District 3, 1, and 9 (with map) From: Curtis Rogers <rogers Sent: Friday, August 27, 2021 2:44:51 PM (UTC+00:00) Monrovia, Reykjavik To: HPD ICRC Commissioners <ICRC.Commissioners@austintexas.gov> Subject: District 3, 1, and 9 (with map)  *** External Email - Exercise Caution *** Dear Committee Members,     Thank you for your help in this process. I know there are no perfect answers, but I trust the outcome will be fair.     I'm a resident of the East Cesar Chavez neighborhood, currently in District 3, and feel that it is better suited to be  connected to downtown, currently District 9. Similarly, neighborhoods south of Town Lake (LBL) would better be  grouped with neighbors south of the lake. I‐35 has been a man‐made tool to divide Austin, and we should not allow it to  draw district lines as we work to reconnect that scar.     I know the population of each area will determine where the lines should be drawn, but below is a rough idea of where I  think the neighborhoods could be better grouped as districts in Austin.     Thanks,  Curtis    CAUTION: This email was received at the City of Austin, from an EXTERNAL source. Please use caution when clicking links  or opening attachments. If you believe this to be a malicious and/or phishing email, please forward this email to  cybersecurity@austintexas.gov.     1
