New Dedicated Bus-Bike Lanes Created on Lombard and Pratt Streets
The right-hand lanes of Pratt and Lombard streets have been reserved for bus and bicycle usage.  According to the Department of Transportation, dedicated bus-bike lanes have gone into effect on Lombard and Pratt Streets between Martin Luther King, Jr. Boulevard and President Street. 

These specially-striped lanes give priority to bicycles and busses, including the new Charm City Circulator.  Drivers may also use the lanes for making right turns.  Motorists found in violation of the dedicated lanes are subject to a $90 fine and the citation may result in points against the driver.

Utility Work on N. Charles Street
Trigen is conducting utility work on N. Charles Street between Saratoga and Pleasant Streets.  The project will close the right lane to traffic.  At least one lane will be open at all times.  During afternoon peak (4 - 6 pm), the right parking lane will be restricted to facilitate traffic flow.  Trigen is working with business owners to reduce the impact on businesses and patrons.  All business will remain open for the duration of the construction.
