The existing line is a rather discontinuous loop that only stops at the Metro station once. My version forms two loops which tie into each other, enabling a single continuous line that provides bidirectional service. This alternative provides direct paths between the residences of the west, offices of the core, and the food/retail along the Georgia & Fenton corridors.

May require curb modifications to provide a broken-back curve, enabling a straight area for a bus stop (if necessary). Otherwise just shift later along Spring to the existing stop.
