Eco-counter - Bike / Ped counters Project in City of Vancouver BC

Jean-Francois Rheault, 13 July 2009,
City of Vancouver removed a travel lane on the Burrard Bridge.  This lane has been replaced by a protected bike lane. To give you a little bit of background, Vancouver has 3 bridges to access the downtown from the South (30 travel lanes - 29 during the trial).
They are documenting the full trial with 11 Eco-counters (ZELT and Pyro) and motorized and all the information is available to the public on this Website. The reaction to this trial in the media is on the negative side but the solid data available is showing a 25 % increase in cycling traffic and constant volumes for motorized traffic.
