Spin Control regularly reports the voter turnout in elections as a gauge of the relative strength of different areas or neighborhoods.
But turnout is a percentage of the people who vote divided by the total people registered. Some areas that have high turnout don’t have as many voters, and some with a relatively high number of voters fail to generate much interest in the candidates or issues on the ballot.
This is a look at where the votes are, if a candidate or campaign can get them.

Hard to know for sure of course… but it looks as if the “Big Box” neighborhood at the South East corner of the City turned out in large numbers…. perhaps secondary to Mr Allen’s vote for the ill advised ( unless one is a developer).. for the project that impacts traffic and the remaining Wet Land in that cachement..
I remain hopeful that with new Council member Snyder and soon to be new Waldref that we might have turned a corner with regards effective land use and management of our open spaces. J
