I've seen rectangular "scars" on several of the paths, in staggered
pairs, one on each side of the path. Usually near an electrical box.
Been there for years. Are these counters?

Madison Traffic Engineering installed its first visual electronic
bicycle counter on Thursday, October 9^th . The counter, called the
Eco-Totem by manufacturer Eco-Counter, is located on the Southwest
Path just east of Monroe Street. The counter tallies bicyclists that
pass over loops embedded in the path. There are two counts displayed
on the Eco-Totem. Near the top is the count for the day. Below this
a thermometer type display that shows the number of bicyclists that
have passed by cumulatively for the year.
"We already count bicyclists at several locations in the city," said
David Dryer, City Traffic Engineer. "The Eco-Totem will supplement
our data collection program while also being visible to path users and
drivers on the street--it will give people a reminder of how many
bicyclists there are in Madison and the need to watch for cyclists on
all City streets." The Southwest Path through the campus is area is
one of the busiest paths in the city.
