NEW LINE: Sousa Bridge Line, Routes 32,34,36

SERVICE:

Route 32

route.

Route 34
route.

Potomac Avenue to Shipley Terrace via present

Potomac Avenue to Naylor Gardens via present

Route 36 Potomac Avenue to Hillcrest via present route.

Since this phase of Metrorail operations will not serve
the portion of the line north and west of Washington
Circle, it is proposed to maintain approximately the
amount of service presently provided west of the Federal
Triangle. The amount of service east of Federal Triangle
will be reduced. We will also take this opportunity
to respond to a long standing request to divert a part
of the Wisconsin Avenue base service via Massachusetts
Avenue and thus avoid the Georgetown congestion. This
change will also permit bus-rail transfers at the Dupont
Circle Station.

It is assumed that the Potomac Avenue Station will
become a major rail-bus transfer station and that
most Metrobus routes will originate or terminate at
this station. Therefore, Routes 32, 34 and 36 will
be separated from the main line and will operate as
feeder routes to the Potomac Avenue Station and be
a part of the Sousa Bridge Bridge Metrobus Line.

The present 24-hour/7 days per week scope of service
on the Pennsylvania Avenue line will be maintained. The
present basic midday frequency of service along Wisconsin
Avenue consisting of eight trips per hour will be divided
to provide four trips per hour on Route 30 through
Georgetown and four trips per hour on Route 38 via
Massachusetts Avenue. This proposed time schedule will
continue to provide eight trips per hour along the
route between the Maryland-D.C. Line and Massachusetts
Avenue and between 20th and Pennsylvania Avenue, N.W.
and 3rd and Independence Avenue, S.W. The amount of
service along the route between 3rd and Independence
Avenue, S.W. and 15th and Pennsylvania Avenue, S.E. will
be reduced by 50%. During weekday rush hours it is
proposed to increase the number of trips on Routes 30
and 38 to six per hour. The present Route 37 peak-
hour schedule of five trips per hour will provide a
total of 11 trips in the peak hour via Massachusetts
Avenue. The six Route 30 peak-hour trips will be
supplemented by a sufficient number of Route 30
Federal Triangle trips to meet the peak-hour require-
ment of 24 trips through Georgetown.

The number of trips now provided on Routes 32, 34 and
36 will continue to operate as the feeder routes between
Potomac Avenue and the Eastern terminals.

MacArthur Boulevard, Glover Park, Dupont Circle, CBD,
Union Station, Trinidad and Ivy City Areas

The Glover Park-Trinidad Line, Routes D-2, D-4, operates through the Central Business District of the City and will duplicate Metrorail service between Dupont Circle and Union Station. The Route D-1 and D-3 rush hour branches of this line will duplicate the portion of Phase II Metrorail service between the Federal Triangle Station and the Federal Center Station. In order to minimize this duplication of service, this line will be revised, as shown below:

LINE: Glover Park-Trinidad Line, Routes D1,D2,D3, D4,D9

Route D-1 - Glover Park to Federal Triangle (cut back)
Route D-2 Glover Park to Ivy City (no change)

Route D-3- Mass. & Sangamore to Federal Triangle (cut back)
Route D-4
Sibley Hospital to Farragut Square via

Q Street (cut back)

Route D-9 Sibley Hospital to Farragut Square via K
Street (cut back)

NEW LINE:

Brentwood Road Line, Route E-8

Route E-8
Trinidad

Union Station to Rhode Island Avenue via

SERVICE: It is proposed to reduce Metrobus service on this line only in the area of duplicating service. Therefore, the number of trips now operating on the various routes will continue to be operated on the proposed routes. New Route E-8 will provide the same number of trips as previously scheduled on the east end of the D-4 route.

Mount Pleasant, Dupont Circle, CBD, Union Station, StadiumArmory, Seat. Pleasant Areas

The Mount Pleasant Line, Routes 40, 42, operates through the Central Business District of the City and will duplicate Metrorail service between Dupont Circle and Union Station. Route 44 is the owl service on this line and will be operating at times when the Metrorail is inactive. Route 45 operates between Mt. Pleasant and 14th and C Streets, S.W., and will duplicate Metrorail service between Dupont Circle and the Smithsonian Station. In order to minimize this duplication of service, the line will be revised, as shown below:

LINE: Mount Pleasant Line, Routes 40,42,44

Route 40
Route 42
Route 44

Union Station to Seat Pleasant (cut back)
Mount Pleasant to Stadium-Armory (no change)

Mount Pleasant to Stadium-Armory (owl no change)

SERVICE:

It is proposed to reduce Metrobus service on this
line only in the area of duplicating service. There-
fore, the number of trips now operating on Routes 42
and 44 will be continued and the number of trips now
operating on Route 40 east of Union Station will be
continued. All Route 45 trips will be discontinued.

5. Connecticut Avenue, Southwest Employment Areas

The Connecticut Avenue Line, Routes L-2, L-3,L-4, L-5,L-6, L-7, serves the entire length of Connecticut Avenue, the Central Business District, Potomac Park and the Southwest Employment Area. While the south end of Routes L-2, L-4, L-6 and L-7 duplicates Phase II Metrorail operations between Dupont Circle and the Federal Triangle, there appears to be adequate justification at present for these routes to continue without change. Route L-5 will not duplicate Metrorail operations and will not be revised. However, Route L-3 will duplicate Phase II Metrorail operations south of Farragut West Station and is proposed to be discontinued as Route L-3 and reassigned to L-4 trips.

LINE: Connecticut Avenue Line, Routes L2,L4, L5,L6, L7

Route L-3 (To or from S.W. Mall) Discontinue; reassign as L-4.

SERVICE: The present frequency of service on the Connecticut Avenue line will continue without change except that all Route L-3 trips will be scheduled as L-4 trips.

6. Sixteenth Street, Potomac Park, Southwest Employment Areas

The Sixteenth Street Metrobus Line, Routes S-1,S-2,5-3,5-4, S-5,5-6, serves the entire length of 16th Street, N.W., the Central Business District, Potomac Park area and the Southwest Employment Area. The south end of Routes S-2,S-4,S-5 and S-6 duplicates only a small portion of Phase II Metrorail operations and is not recommended for change at this time. It is proposed to reroute S-1 northbound and southbound service so as to serve the Foggy Bottom Station in both directions. It is also proposed to discontinue all S.W. Mall service since Route S-3 would duplicate Metrorail service between McPherson Square and Federal Center Stations. It is proposed to reassign these S-3 trips to operate at S-2 trips.

LINE:

Sixteenth Street Line, Routes S1,S2, S4, S5, S6

Route S-1-(To and from Potomac Park) Reroute via Foggy
Bottom Station.

Route S-3 (To and from S.W. Mall) Discontinue; reassign to S-2.

SERVICE:

The present frequency of service on the 16th Street
line will continue without change except that all
Route S-3 trips will be scheduled as S-2 trips.

7. South Capitol Street, Southwest Employment, CBD Areas

The South Capitol Street Express Line, Route A-9, provides rush hour express type service from the Livingston area of the City to the Federal Triangle area via South Capitol Street. The Atlantic Street Terminal Express Line, Route W-9, provides rush hour express type service from South Capitol and Atlantic Streets through the Southwest Employment Area to the Farragut Square area. The Route W-3 branch of this line now operates between South Capitol and Atlantic Streets and the Southwest Employment Area. Operational Phase II of Metrorail service will duplicate the service provided by Routes A-9 and W-9 north of the Southwest Employment Area. Therefore, it is proposed to combine these lines and terminate all routes at the Southwest Terminal and reroute to operate via South Capitol Street, M Street, S.W., 6th Street, I Street, 7th Street and D Street to the Southwest Terminal located at 9th and D Streets, S.W.

LINE: South Capitol Street Line, Routes A3,A9

Route A-3- South Capitol and Atlantic Streets to Southwest Terminal.

Route A-9 Livingston to Southwest Terminal

SERVICE: The present Route A-9 time schedule will be maintained. The present Route W-3,W-9 service will be redesignated Route A-3 and approximately 80% of the number of trips now scheduled on Routes W-3 and W-9 will be scheduled on Route A-3.

Federal Triangle, Capitol Hill, Navy Yard, Anacostia, Congress
Heights, Bellevue and Livingston Areas

The Anacostia-Congress Heights Metrobus Line, Routes A-1, A-2, A-4 and A-8, now provides service from 10th and Pennsylvania Avenue, N.W. to the Greater Southeast Community Hospital, Bellevue and Livingston through the areas outlined above. With operational Phase II of Metrorail service, it is proposed to change Routes A-1,A-2 and A-4 to operate via E Street, New Jersey Avenue, Independence Avenue and 4th Street so as to serve the Capitol South Station and to extend Routes A-2 and A-4 to 12th Street so as to serve the Federal Triangle Station. It is also proposed to change Route A-8 to operate via 8th Street, S. E. and terminate at the Eastern Market Station. The present single outbound Route A-3 trip and the one round trip on Route A-5 will be discontinued. These proposed changes are shown below:

-30

LINE:

Anacostia-Congress Heights Line, Routes A1,A2, A4,A8

Route A-1 - Atlantic and South Capitol Streets to Potomac
Park.

Route A-2 - Congress Heights (S.E. Comm. Hosp.) to Federal
Triangle.

SERVICE: The present time schedule for Routes A-1,A-2, A-4 and A-8 will be maintained. One outbound a.m. A-3 trip will be discontinued, and one outbound a.m. and one inbound p.m. A-5 will be discontinued.

9. Foggy Bottom, Federal Center and Capitol South Stations

The present Metrobus route network does not provide base day service to all of the Metrorail stations that will be opened with Phase II of Metrorail operations. Midday service will be required between the Foggy Bottom Station and the Potomac Park area. Therefore, it is proposed that the Government Building Service, Route M-1, be extended on the west end of the line from the State Department to the Foggy Bottom Station.

The entrance to the Federal Center Station will be located at 3rd and D Streets, S.W. Metrobus Routes 60 and M-2 now operate along 4th Street at D, S.W. Therefore, Route 60 will be changed to operate via 4th Street, S.W., E Street, 3rd Street, C Street, 4th Street, S.W., and regular route in each direction. Route M-2 will be changed so as to serve both the Federal Center and Capitol South Stations and will operate via 4th Street, E Street, 3rd Street, C Street, Canal Street, D Street, 1st Street, S.E. and regular route.

Route revisions outlined previously will provide Metrobus connections with the Capitol South Station from the south and west but adequate Metrobus service will be required to the Capitol Hill area. Therefore, it is proposed to change Route M-1 to operate via C Street, S.W., Canal Street, D Street and 1st Street, S.E., in both directions. It is also proposed to change Route R-4 to operate via Independence Avenue, S.W., Canal Street, D Street and 1st Street, S.E., in both directions. The lines and routes proposed for change are outlined below:

LINE:

Eleventh Street-Ft. McNair Line, Route 60

Route 60 11th and Monroe Streets, N.W. to Half and 0 Streets,
S.W., via Federal Center Station.

Government Building Service Line, Route M-1

Route M-1- Foggy Bottom to Union Station via Federal Triangle,
L'Enfant Plaza, Federal Center and Capitol South.
