Bicycle Counts

The Minneapolis Public Works Department, in partnership with Transit for Livable Communities, conducted bicycle counts at 57 city-wide locations in September. Over 70 people, including volunteers, AmeriCorps staff, and government agency employees, assisted with the count. These counts will serve as a valuable tool in accommodating bicyclists on Minneapolis streets and trails, today and in the future.

The top ten locations for bicyclists, out of the 57 locations counted, include:

1	15th Ave SE b/t University & 4th Aves	3540
2	Midtown Greenway b/t Hennepin & Humboldt Aves	2011
3	Midtown Greenway b/t Cedar & 20th Aves	1861
