I counted 41 people using the new bike lane on Elm St in one hour, and I was wrong about it being a waste
I stood at the corner of Elm and 3rd in Portland last Tuesday from 5 to 6pm with a clicker because I thought the city wasted $180k on that protected lane for like 3 riders. I counted 41 people on bikes, 12 on scooters, and even a guy on a skateboard using it, and not one car had to swerve or slow down. So for the folks who design and plan these routes, how do you actually measure whether a lane is working before you build it, or do you just have to wait and count after?

Did you try timing how long cars wait at the light before and after?
