Throughout Better Naito, the Portland Bureau of Transportation gathered data by field observations from volunteers as well as Bluetooth, video, and manual counts.

971 people used the #BetterNaito hashtag to voice their opinion publicly. This live feedback was groundbreaking in monitoring the success and use of our bicycle and pedestrian lane.

In addition, we gathered numbers with tube counters. Below, changes in commute pattern represent the amount of cyclists channeled away from pedestrian areas in the Tom McCall Waterfront Park.

AVERAGE PERCENT CHANGE:
AM Peak  16.8%
PM Peak  31.5%

“Without BN” counts – Wed/Thurs, July 15th and 16th
“With BN” counts – Wed/Thurs, July 22nd and 23rd
The number of cyclists is the average of the two days for each set of numbers (with and without BN). Counts are taken from the tube counters located at SW Naito and Salmon Ave.
