This page can still use some work. I made it as a result of a discussion with my co-workers, we had thought every circle was named after a general. We were wrong. Perhaps I will merge this with Squares in Washington, since they often serve a similar purpose.--Niro5 22:29, 26 April 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Lincoln Memorial Circle
What about the cirlce around the Lincoln Memorial? Does that count? SDC 18:25, 5 June 2006 (UTC)
- I'm hesitant to add either the Lincoln Memorial circle or Observatory circle because neither of them acts like a traffic circle as described in the link at the top of the page. I purposely did not include either of these circles or some others (like Kalorama Circle) for that reason. Let me know if you agree .--Niro5 21:59, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

- By the capitalization of "Circle" in the article's title, I took it to refer to any roadway named "Circle" which is why I added Observatory Circle, but not The Ellipse for example.
I don't believe the circle around the Lincoln Memorial is named and so wouldn't qualify.It also doesn't for a complete circle. This standard also has the advantage of avoiding the dozens of tiny, unnamed traffic circles around the city (e.g. 3rd & G, SW) not to mention the hundreds of circular driveways. --dm (talk) 04:26, 13 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Stanton Square?
I don't think Stanton Square should be on here, since it's technically not a roundabout - it's a square. Plus according to Google, it's called Stanton Park, and there is no street called Stanton Square - I think the actual road is called Seward Square. But if we add Stanton/Seward Square, we'd have to add Lincoln, Franklin, Farragut, McPherson, etc. Maybe they could be a separate section in this article for squares? Thoughts? --Awiseman 03:03, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
