The map doesn't provide a lot of detail and it doesn't tell you what happens at the location. Below is a summary of bicycle crashes from 03-5 in the Willy St corridor which includes Willy St and the bike path from Blair to the river. Doesn't include Jenifer St.

Is there a way to get at the data somehow? -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Robin Sent: Tuesday, March 04, 2008 7:51 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Bikies] Bicycle Boulevards (very cool) Just to be difficult, Portland also had six bike deaths in 2007. I think that qualifies for coffin status. I rode extensively in Portland last summer and was not a big fan of their bike schema. If there are bike boulevards two blocks over, but you are going to the record store over here, than pretty much every motorist thinks you are a self-righteous biker and will force you off the road. Yes, that happened to me more than once. We are traffic. _______________________________________________ Bikies mailing list [email protected] http://www.danenet.org/mailman/listinfo/bikies _______________________________________________ Bikies mailing list [email protected] http://www.danenet.org/mailman/listinfo/bikies
