From now until December 24th we're blogging about some of our favorite accomplishments from 2011. Check back in each day to read more about what BikeArlington has been up to for the past year.
Expansion of Trail Counters Program
Arlington continues to be on the cutting edge of jurisdictions who value data collection as a high priority. In 2011, the number of automated trail counters on Arlington trails increased from a handful of counters to more than ten locations. Through the ever growing collection of data now available, distinct riding and commuting patterns among cyclists has emerged. Now we finally have hard data showing how temperature, precipitation, and snow plowing influence the number of bikes out on Arlington’s bike network.
Check back in tomorrow to see the next post on our favorite accomplishments of 2011!
