Daily cyclists-bike route counts

Vancouver does do daily cycling route counts of bikes at various intersections. Interesting, at the top of a 8-9% longish hill winding pleasantly in a residential area, there is a narrow point that is clearly signed for bikes to go through near a roundabout and it is used.

In peak summer /warm season, there are 1,600 bike trips daily. In low, "colder', rainier season, it drops to 700 bike trips per day. Of course, it includes a cyclist going up and down the hill to make a trip. But still, that is use.

Wow!

Where is that? Ontario and 10th?

Pretty cool.

You got it, Grog. Of all the intersections with hills and roundabounts in this city, how did you hit upon that? :rolleyes:

I was surprised when I found out about that statistic. But then it is an intersection on a route where it is a part of a commuting route for people going to and from downtown Vancouver by going through a quiet residential area through the heart of the city. Goes to show when determining on road bike routes that hills aren't always the barrier, it just must run through an area that isn't packed with gunning cars.
