I agree that Chris is great, but I imagine this is more from the bean counters, whoever they are.

Any idea what part of DDOT made this call (e.g. Planning? Engineering?)? I can’t imagine that Chris Ziemann, the DDOT rep for GTown who is part of the Planning division, supports this. He favored the Wisconsin bus lane that is part of the Georgetown Transportation Study recommendations that DDOT paid $500,000 for (apparently that was money well spent).

I often wonder why there is no link between Glover Park/Upper Georgetown and the Woodley Park Metro. The neighborhoods between Glover Park and Woodley park I am sure would love a frequent metro connector. Perhaps abandon the Navy Yard Metro during the off season and make a year round route from Whitehave St., up Wisconsin to Cleveland (via Garfield) to Calvert and the Woodley Park Metro. I know its not a bus service down town and not a replacement for this cut but its a good option on what to do with all those extra Circulator buses that now dont’ have a use – yet are already purchased.
