    Summer 2012 Downtown Chicago Bike Count

    What is the Downtown Chicago Bike Count?


    On Tuesday, June 26, 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. In total, more than 8,300 cyclists were counted. It is important to note that during this project the largest concentration of recorded bicycle trips have been on streets with bike lanes. While less than 1/4 of this summers count locations are part of the bike network, nearly 2/3 of bicyclists traveled these routes.
