The 10-9 for CLE specifically prohibits taxiing from Spot 2 to Spot 5 along Inner J Taxiway for aircraft with wingspans of 118 FT and greater. The 737 wingspan is 118 FT. Ramp Tower continually gives clearance to taxi from Spot 2 to Spot 5 along inner J Taxiway. This is prohibited. I have found no NOTAM or pilot bulletin allowing the 737 to do this. I refuse and take alternate routes. Other planes illegally take these instructions. This needs to stop.
A B737 pilot refused taxi clearance at CLE between Spots 2 and 5 because the Airport diagram restricts aircraft with wingspans 118 FT and greater from the Inner J Taxiway between the two spots.
