CBWS & GVCC Bicycle Count Project
Capital Bike and Walk (CBWS) has partnered with the Greater Victoria Cycling Coalition (GVCC) to conduct bicycle counts in
advance of work being done on the E&N Rail Trail. This will help us to track changes in bicycle traffic that
is likely to be generated by the new trail project.
How to Get More Bicyclists on the Road
From the October 2009 Scientific American Magazine
Bicycle Parking 101
Good bicycle parking options support cycling transportation. People are less likely to ride if their bicycle isn't safe at their destination.
Adding weather protection is a bonus that is increasingly important too. Cyclists are twice as likely to use a sheltered rack.
At the Kid's Market on Granville Island in Vancouver, the shelter is convenient to the front door, providing informal surveillance to enhance
security. The design complements the building and is integrated into the structure, keeping costs down too. Information on planning bicycle
parking is in our bicycle parking manual.
A new grading system for bike parking is new to our CBWS website. This new project is support by Translink, the Metro Vancouver Transportation
Authority. Kid's market probably rates an 85/100. Find out more by following the link to the Power Point presentation.
