Council District Google Map

Your City Council District just got a lot easier to figure out (geographically speaking, that is). The intrepid Josiah Roe has created a Google Map showing all nine districts.

I can only imagine the total pain in the a** this must have been, but we are all in his debt for his doing it. The Hamilton County GIS shop has made great strides lately — use-ta was, their map layers didn't even include electoral districts — but their output is mainly PDF or PNG, as far as I can tell, and nothing quite like a Google Map.

So thank Josiah for taking this step, and look for these maps to figure into coverage of the upcoming (March 2009) municipal elections.

I'm hoping to get them configured for Google Earth soon.

Also, MT 4 is coming very very soon. Gonna be crazy though.
