“establishment of a prominent and permanent bike count display kiosk to provide
the public with a continuous visual reminder of the significance of cycling in our
city.”

I rode along 7th Ave. last night and hit TWO abrupt dips in the road, resulting in, of course, a blown tire. I almost flew off too!

I love seeing cycling being encouraged and made both safer and easier through both the Dunsmuir Viaduct and the Burrard Bridge designated cycle lanes, both significant improvements to the Vancouver’s cycle routes. Visual counters would be a lovely touch, a great idea. That way the stats would be immediate too.

Any idea what it would cost to install such technology?

I’ve sent an email asking about the data, but I can’t imagine we’ll be seeing it anytime soon. You can get the detailed Burrard statistics here: http://vancouver.ca/projects/burrard/documents/stats_burrard_bridge_2009JJASOND_2010JFMAMJ.xls
Certainly not as user friendly as a big counter on the side of the road, but still fun to look through and see how various events change the traffic patterns.
