Greetings: Councilman Gardina tabled the resolution two weeks ago but is reintroducing it at the May 1st work session (many thanks to those who attended). This worked out though since we were given more time to further develop consensus with additional stakeholders by editing lanxguage that broadens the description of the study area. I have sent these suggested edits to Councilman Gardina for his review but have not heard back from him.

Please consider sending an email of support for the trail study resolution -with edits that broaden the study area "to provide access to the Gunpowder Falls Corridor" to replace the following language: "Cromwell Bridge Road/Minebank Run stream valley corridor". Or consider attending the working session at 2 PM, May 1st in Room 205 of the old Courthouse. They provide an opportunity to sign up before hand if you wish to speak.

Now here is something the City can do, convert the old tram line in to a dedicated bike path that runs round the inner harbor. That way we don't have to fight with the ducks and tourist buses that currently use it as a pickup drop off point and force cyclists onto the busy and dangerous Pratt Street. Then install quality U style bike racks close to all the major shopping areas in the Inner Harbor, Canton and Fells Point. Then as a bonus install bike rental bus shelters. When we have that locals and Tourists will want to bike round the city.
