MEMORANDUM                                                                               Nov 16, 2009

TO:                  JHMI Shuttle Operators          

CC:                  Office Staff                                                                 

FROM:                        Paul Kilduff

SUBJECT:      Bike Lanes on St Paul Street

We received the picture below from a website called, “baltimore.mybikelane.com.”  It was sent to the Dean of Students at JHU, and eventually it came to me.  Please be aware that, at St Paul at 33^rd St (Charles Commons southbound), we may not block that bike lane – we need to pull all the way over.  We don’t want this situation to escalate.

I know it’s a big challenge to pick up people there.  But we don’t want to continue to get these complaints.  Please let me know if there’s any reason you can’t pull all the way over when picking up at that stop, or any other thoughts you may have about this issue.  Please stop and see me, or Direct Connect me on 573 with any comments or questions.

As always --  Thank you! 

Paul K
