From Asheville on Bikes:
We need you to get out there and count the pedestrians and cyclist in our city the week of Sept. 14th. Let’s continue to inform transportation policy with data. Currently, NCDOT does not conduct bike / ped counts as part of their design phase. It’s up to us to provide those numbers. And without you out there counting, we won’t have the data we need to expand active transportation.
Register for the annual here.
Bike counts will be conducted on Tuesday through Saturday morning beginning on Sept. 15th.
Volunteer training sessions will be held at UNCA on the following days and times:
- 9/10, noon — Sherrill Center, room 402
- 9/10, 5pm — Sherrill Center, room 402
- 9/14, noon — Sherrill Center, NCCHW conference room (in the NCCHW office area, not the classroom/arena side)
- 9/14, 5pm — Sherrill Center, room 407
Be sure to post the AVL Bike / Ped Invite on your facebook page and share with friends.
