[Greater-Baltimore] FW: Charm City Circulator Proposed Changes

[Ringlein, Ellen]

Dear Federation Colleagues,

I was asked to share the following.

Ellen


The city is planning to cut the Green line, banner line, and northern extension of the purple route of Circulator service. If any of these stops affect you, I would recommend sharing your displeasure with the DOT. I certainly planned to. Below I have pulled the relevant details from the PDF flyers available from the Circulator website http://www.charmcitycirculator.com/

* Elimination of the Banner Route in its entirety

will be publicized well in advance. Interested persons are encouraged to attend and provide comments on the proposed changes.
