Volunteers Needed in Late May to Count Pathway UsersColumbia Association (CA) is seeking enthusiastic volunteers to to help count the number of pedestrians, bicyclists and other users on CA’s pathways in late May. The purpose of this effort is similar to that of an automobile traffic count. Gauging pathway usage will show which areas of CA’s pathway network are the most popular and/or congested. In turn, knowing how certain sections of pathways are used will help CA staff to determine what improvements could be made to make the experience of those on CA’s pathways even more enjoyable — and whether past improvements have had an impact. CA is seeking volunteers for the following locations: Columbia Gateway, Downtown Columbia, Jackson Pond, Lake Elkhorn, Lake Kittamaqundi, the southern terminus of Tamar Drive, and Wilde Lake Park.Anyone interested in volunteering can fill out a registration form at http://bit.ly/pathwaycount2015. CA staff will be in touch with potential volunteers to confirm time slots and to provide more information on the counting process. An optional training session will be offered on Thursday, May 21. For more information, please contact CA Community Planner Scott Templin at [email protected] or by calling 410-715-3166.
