WHEREAS:
The City launched an Eco-Counter Eco-Display device, formerly called the Eco-
Totem, in June of 2015 on Broadway to count bicycle trips; and
WHEREAS:
The Eco-Display is an effective data capturing tool and a valuable addition to our
traditional bike counting measures that provides both real-time continuous data with
roughly 95% accuracy and access to proprietary data analysis tools; and
WHEREAS:
As of 2016, the City had 20 bike-counting locations where date-specific data was
collected for the City’s annual bike counts; now therefore be it
ORDERED:
That the City Manager be and hereby is requested to confer with the Community
Development Department and other relevant staff to report to the City Council on how
the data collected from the Broadway Eco-Display is used to inform the City’s
transportation planning efforts; and be it further
ORDERED:
That the City Manager be and hereby is requested to confer with the Community
Development Department and other relevant staff and report back to the Council on the
possibility of installing additional Eco-Display counters at the highest trafficked
bicycle locations to provide more comprehensive information about bike use and,
possibly, other vehicles such as scooters that Eco-Counters can currently measure or
may be able to measure in the future.
