			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>The Issue:</strong> The <a href="http://www.dccirculator.com/DCCirculator.html#home">DC Circulator</a> route up Wisconsin Avenue may soon be no more. The $1 red bus currently runs from Union Station through downtown to M Street, then eventually up Wisconsin.<a href="http://georgetownmetropolitan.com/2009/09/14/circulator-to-no-longer-ascend-wisconsin/"> DDOT has proposed</a> cutting the last leg of the service, leaving only two regular city buses to run to upper Georgetown. Despite a big Metrobus route overhaul last year, during which Mayor <strong>Adrian Fenty</strong> dubbed the Circulator a "great solution," it looks like the bus faces a bumpy ride.</p>
<p><span id="more-32321"></span><strong>We Need the Bus: Hazel Denton</strong> of the Citizens Association of Georgetown [CAG] says cutting the Circulator will leave upper Wisconsin residents high and dry: "Eighteen months ago, the mayor said they were going to enhance and streamline transportation, but [if the bus is cut] our service will have been halved in just two years. We feel outraged by this." Some want the Circulator service to extend even farther, to Glover Park.</p>
<p><strong>No, You Don't: <span style="font-weight: normal;">Take the 32 or the 36! Asked about the proposed cut, DDOT had no "official response" for now. But according to CAG, it comes down to budget constraints. <strong>Drew, </strong><a href="http://www.princeofpetworth.com/2009/02/expanded-bus-service-16th-st-express-and-the-circulator-in-ch/"> commenting online</a> earlier this year, also suggested that probable explanation: "I've never seen one with more than one or two riders. Just what we need, more riderless buses clogging the streets." </span></strong></p>
<p><strong>Next Step:</strong> If you want to keep the route, write the mayor or DDOT and complain. If you don't care, go back to surfing the web.</p>
