Count bikes to make bikes count!
Long Beach is recruiting volunteers for its Third Annual Bicycle Count on Oct. 14 and/or 17.
The city and Cal State Long Beach are seeking 300 volunteers to help conduct bike and pedestrian counts at more than 35 locations throughout Long Beach.
Multiple volunteer time slots and count locations are available. High school seniors are welcome to participate with parent permission.
The Third Annual Bicycle Count will help the city acquire a better understanding of locations of bike and pedestrian activity, and which areas and infrastructure are used the most. Ultimately, the Bicycle Count will help decide where bike and pedestrian improvements are needed.
Volunteers will receive a $10 dollar "thank you" gift card.
