    Spring 2012 Downtown Chicago Bike Count

    What is the Downtown Chicago Bike Count?


    On Tuesday, March 27, 2012 the Chicago Department of Transportation (CDOT), with the help of 40 volunteers, conducted a bicycle cordon count surrounding the Central Business District (CBD) along four screenlines; Chicago Avenue, Canal Street, Harrison Street, and the Lakefront Trail. Counters recorded the number and gender of bicyclists traveling inbound during the morning rush hours and outbound during the afternoon rush hours. The data will be used to support bicycle improvements throughout Chicago, document annual ridership and help create a comprehensive network of safe, efficient and innovative bikeways. The count locations were selected based upon bridge crossings and the network of streets in and out of the CBD. This is the first count in 2012, and CDOT will conduct the Downtown Chicago Bike Count on a quarterly basis throughout the year.
