Identity politics is so 19th

a) Bordering Streets' names unlabelled. b) Online overlays.
a) Boston City Council hides the names of the Districts' Bordering Streets. Maps aren't labelled with the names of the Districts' Bordering Streets. All people interested in the information and maps haven't a convenient accurate map that can be understood easily.
b) Online overlays comparing maps, proposed maps, previous maps need to be made available.
