METRO to eliminate the Gulfton circulator (309/310)

The Gulfton circulator was introduced in 2021 as part of the Gulfton Complete Communities initiative. It runs in a loop and connects a ton of Gulfton destinations, including transit centers, schools, medical facilities, grocery stores, churches/mosques/synagogues, and lots of apartment complexes. Its ridership has also grown by 30% in the last two years. The new METRO board, undeterred, plans to eliminate it in January.

Its closure is the latest of a series of backwards decisions on the part of METRO and the city, coming while signal priority still hasn't been reinstated along the Red line. But there's still time to get this decision reversed.

If you (like me) use the Gulfton circulator, please consider advocating against its elimination at the Nov. 6, 2025 public hearing. You can even speak virtually over zoom! Details on the changes and how to register here:
