Counts
Beginning in 1996, the City of San Luis Obispo instituted a
program of counting bicycle traffic at various street
intersections throughout the community. The survey is done every
two years to note overall use, trends and to examine needs.
Bicycling
Education and Facilities
The
City contracts with the San Luis Obispo County Bicycle Coalition
(SLOCBC) to provide bicycling education classes and materials.
In March 2009, the City installed
"Sharrows"
(Shared Roadway Bicycle Marking) on
Monterey Street between Santa Rosa and Buena Vista Streets, as a pilot
project. The "Cyclists Ride Here" brochure explains how these are used.
