University Circle (RTA Rapid Transit Station)
University Circle is a station on the RTA Red Line in Cleveland, Ohio, USA. The station is located in University Circle at the foot of Cedar Hill along Cedar Glen Parkway (which connects Cleveland's Cedar Avenue with Cleveland Heights' Cedar Road). It includes entrances on both sides of Cedar, with bus loading lanes along Cedar on each side. There is also a bus loop with loading area southwest of the station at the corner of Cedar Avenue and Martin Luther King, Jr. Drive.
The station also connects with Circle Link shuttle buses operated by Case Western Reserve University. The Circle Link buses stop at the corner of East 114th Street and Glenwood Avenue at the northern entrance to the station.
Though the station has been modified from its original 1955 form to be partly ADA accessible, federal funds were secured in October 2010 for a complete reconstruction of the station to bring it into full compliance. Plans for the new station, which were completed in 2011, call for completely reconstructing the rail station in the same general location, moving the bus loop transfer zone to the north side of the station, and eliminating the south bus slip transfer area. Ground was broken on September 19, 2012 and the North side entrance to the station closed indefinitely on November 5, 2012.

And the circle of them
With a bright stain.
They will cast out the dead
A sight for Priam’s queen to lament
And her frightened daughters.”

“More rapid than eagles his coursers they came,
And he whistled, and shouted, and called them by name:
“Now, Dasher! now, Dancer! now, Prancer and Vixen!
On, Comet! on, Cupid! on, Donder and Blitzen!
To the top of the porch! to the top of the wall!
Now dash away! dash away! dash away all!””
—Clement Clarke Moore (1779–1863)
“My esoteric doctrine, is that if you entertain any doubt, it is safest to take the unpopular side in the first instance. Transit from the unpopular, is easy ... but from the popular to the unpopular is so steep and rugged that it is impossible to maintain it.”
—William Lamb Melbourne, 2nd Viscount (1779–1848)
