Bike Counters for the Bridges!

Look what they found under the sofa pads!

Up to $22,000 for two automated bike/ped counters to be installed on the Union St RR Bridge and Minto Bridge.

Next week our regional MPO looks to move on purchasing bike/ped counters!

Now we will have a good source of data, too! This is great news. While it won't give us a comprehensive view of bicycling in Salem, it will give us a baseline, and that will be something to build on.

(Look for more on the whole SKATS agenda in the next few days, but this news was too good not to celebrate immediately!)
