Ready, set, count: volunteers are needed for trail survey

In an effort to improve conditions for walkers, joggers, bikers, and wheelchair users in our area, North Clackamas Parks and Recreation District (NCPRD), Clackamas County Parks, the City of Milwaukie, along with 11 other local partners, are taking part in the National Bicycle & Pedestrian Documentation Project — a national weeklong effort  to count and survey trail and bike lane users.  One of the greatest challenges facing the bicycle and pedestrian arena is the lack of documentation on usage and demand. Without accurate and consistent demand and usage figures, it is difficult to measure the positive benefits of investments in these modes of transportation. This national project provides a consistent model of data collection and ongoing data for use by planners, governments, and bicycle and pedestrian professionals.
