notes

Some information relevant to further development of this Downtown North HD article has been noted at Talk:Downtown Hartford. Here is edited copy, of notes there by User:Polaron:

Census Tract 5021 nearly approximates the official boundaries of the Downtown neighborhood of Hartford. Differences: tract includes State Police Academy; tract includes area between Sheldon St and Whitehead Hwy (east of So Prospect); tract excludes block defined by So. Prospect, Sheldon, Main, Buckingham; tract excludes area between I-84 main line and Exit 49 ramps; tract excludes block defined by I-84, Flower, Cogswell, Capitol.
The main part of Downtown is almost coincident with voting district 5e. Downtown North (north of I-84) is part of voting district 5c. A small portion between I-84 and the Exit 49 ramps is part of voting district 5d.

I'd certainly support adding sourced mention of the fact that the HD is included in a different voting district than "Downtown", if source is available and if voting districts are believed to be relatively stable. What does that mean, though, in terms of difference in elected officials (does the Downtown North have a different representatives in state government, or in the U.S. congress, or what)? doncram (talk) 18:00, 25 September 2009 (UTC) doncram (talk) 18:00, 25 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
