And I would add: "And hold off on confiscating bikes not on racks until sufficient parking is installed!"

Amtrak will be installing additional bicycle racks at Philadelphia by September. We do not have the exact date, however, I was told it will be installed by early September. They will be placed at various points around the station for your convenience.

These racks, in addition to being difficult to use, are almost always full--thereby forcing one to lock to sign posts and parking meters (in unsheltered locations, to boot!). Please be considerate of your customers who wish to get to the station by bike. Increase your bicycle parking capacity at 30th Street! _________________________________ John Madera Regional Bicycle Programs Coordinator Delaware Valley Regional Planning Commission 111 S.
