3. Objective Our objective is to determine the effectiveness of two different bike lanes on campus and then compare them At each location the following will be counted: Number of bikes on bike path Number of bikes off of bike path Number of pedestrians on bike path

4. MSEE Bike Path

5. Wetherill Bike Path

6. The two graphs show the totals of people walking on the bike path, bikes riding on the bike path, and bikes riding off of the bike bath. Data was collected for 4 hours at each location in 1 hour intervals around the lunch hour of different days of the week of October 18 th for a total of 8 hours of observation.

12. Interpretation of Results It has been determined that the bike path in front of Wetherill is more efficient than the path in front of MSEE because of the barriers. The addition of barriers between the bike and pedestrian paths and better bike path site selection would greatly improve the efficiency and safety for occupants
