[SDCBC] [CABO] Bicycling advocacy center service...

[Alan Forkosh]

Be careful using this for legislative districts if you live near a  
boundary. I live 1/2 block from the line between Assembly districts.  
and this tool placed me in the wrong one. For the California  
legislature, use http://www.legislature.ca.gov/legislators_and_districts/districts/districts.html
and search by address.

Note to confirm that result, I actually needed to access the committee  
report from 2001 of the redistricting bill <http://www.assembly.ca.gov/committee/c7/asmfinal/newtextdocument.html 
 >
and then select a map of each of the possible districts (several sized  
possible). This was the only place that the boundary streets were  
easily visible. I assume that you might need to use a similar process  
for other subdivisions.
