Lewis and Clark County 2011 Bike/Pedestrian Documentation Project
1/12/12 – Submitted by Jason Danielson

Lewis and Clark County, along with several volunteers, continued its ongoing research of alternative transportation by hosting its first-ever bike and pedestrian counts. The Bike/Pedestrian Documentation Project is intended to measure  these modes at selected locations, with results and data to be shared with local planners, bicycle and pedestrian organizations, and community commuters. Upon receiving data from volunteers at 15 locations within Helena’s city limit, Lewis and Clark County/City of Helena GIS Services created a document including the following information:

 - Bike/Pedestrian Location Map (Intersections)
- Spring and Fall Location Maps with Results (Pie charts at each location)
- Spring and Fall Graphs (Explicit results for each location)
