2. Seaside Greenway

Seaside Greenway: Estimated Average Daily Bicycle Volumes (before project) Bicycle Counter Estimates: August 2013 Weekday 4500* 1150-1250** 450-650** 800-1000** 50-100** Source: *The data provided are approximate average daily two-way bicycle volumes at each location for midweek (Tuesday to Thursday) days in August. These include averages from automatic counters and comparable estimates based on 12 hour (7am - 7pm) manual bicycle counts (with factors derived from automatic counters for 2012- 2013 plus August 2014). **City of Vancouver factored estimates based on manual counts.

Seaside Greenway: Average Daily Bicycle Volumes (after project completion) Bicycle Counter Volumes: August 2014 Weekday 6200 2700 2000 2700 600 The data provided are approximate average daily two-way bicycle volumes at each location for midweek (Tuesday to Thursday) days in August. These include averages from automatic counters and comparable estimates based on 12 hour (7am - 7pm) manual bicycle counts (with factors derived from automatic counters for 2012-2013 plus August 2014).

Seaside Greenway: Average Daily Bicycle Volumes (after project completion) Bicycle Counter Volumes: August 2014 Weekend 5400 3500 2800 3300 600 The data provided are approximate average daily two-way bicycle volumes at each location for weekend (Saturday and Sunday) days in August. These include averages from automatic counters and comparable estimates based on 12 hour (7am - 7pm) manual bicycle counts (with factors derived from the five automatic counters for the full month of August).
