The Metro Planning Department on Friday released two possible redistricting maps to satisfy legislation from the state that requires Davidson County’s 40-member Metro Council to cut back to 20 members. 

With election season fast approaching, Metro has been scrambling to get a plan together. The legislation to cut the council moved through the Tennessee General Assembly quickly, and it requires the city to have maps ready to be considered by the Metro Council by April 10. While a legal battle is underway to stop the cut, until the courts say otherwise, the planning department has begun the process of redistricting.
