D.C. residents living east of the Anacostia River may very well see the Circulator bus making stops in their neighborhood after all.

Neighborhood Watch: Humping Around in Benning Ridge?

The Issue: Residents in Southeast’s Benning Ridge neighborhood are a bit befuddled about speed humps that seem to have magically appeared on a number of streets.  They may be necessary to calm traffic, but some are concerned the city's not going through the proper channels—getting permission from residents, conducting a traffic study—before installation.
