Then please consider donating a couple hours of your time. Arlington County volunteers collect bicycle and pedestrian count information several times a year, and there are still a number of unfilled positions for next week’s seasonal bicycle and pedestrian counts. From David Patton, Arlington County Bicycle and Pedestrian Planner:
We could really use more help to have full coverage at the 20+ locations where we count. The September seasonal count is the most important one of the year, and the one with the greatest number of communities participating. (Here in Arlington we have counted four times in the past year – other places only once.)
To check the sign-up sheet, and for lots more information, please visit the website: http://drop.io/september09bikepedcount
Much of what is there is pretty self-explanatory. Please feel free to write to me at this email with any questions. I’ll be checking it periodically over the holiday weekend.
With thanks, and best wishes for an enjoyable end of summer …

I’ve done this before, and I’ll be out there next Thursday, at a minimum. Very easy, and very helpful. For more about the National Bicycle and Pedestrian Documentation Project, in which Arlington County participates, visit: http://bikepeddocumentation.org
