sider the feasibility of providing a commuter rate for regular users
of the Dundalk Avenue Bridge and the Memorial Bridge into
Sparrows Point.

Whereas, The Dundalk Avenue Bridge and the Memorial Bridge
which provide access to Sparrows Point are heavily used by people
employed at Sparrows Point; and

bridges, necessitating daily expense on the part of persons employed

monthly commuter rate to ease the financial burden on regular users
of such facilities, for example, the Baltimore Harbor Tunnel and the
William Preston Lane Bridge; now, therefore, be it

the Memorial Bridge which provide access to Sparrows Point; and
