I know the city has counters buried under the bike path in a couple of places, I believe, one near the Yahara River, and another on the Law Park bike path. Unfortunately, unless it's been changed, the counter is between Broom St. and North Shore Drive, so there is no bike counter on the busiest section of that path, which is between Broom and Blair. I'm sure Arthur and others in TE know for sure.
