[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I feel sad for Georgetown. In my 20s I used to love walking around there, shopping and spending time. I have lived in Shaw for 15 years and the shift of retail and restaurants eastward has been dramatic and inexorable. I would love to see Georgetown get its mojo back. I wonder if it might be a good idea to make the shopping streets pedestrian or bike only, but of course there’s not enough public transportation options to make that feasible.[/quote]

At least five bus lines go through there regularly, including the Circulator.  Get off your high horse and take the bus, people![/quote]

The Circulator is doesn't pick up at enough stops and high traffic areas. At least one of those lines into Georgetown picks up less than .1 mile from my place but I don't take it. Why? It means 7+ stops and 40-minutes added to my cross-city commute and it doesn't come often enough because people don't take the bus to out-of-the-way Georgetown. [/quote]

The Circulator on Wisconsin stops like every two blocks.  The always packed 30 line buses that run through there run all the way from Friendship Heights to Capitol Hill (and further), so those run through Georgetown no matter what.  The D2, D6, and G2 run from Dupont to Georgetown.  Plus there are bikeshares, Uber, Lyft, and taxis.  [/quote]
