A MESSAGE FROM THE MAYOR In 2016, our residents, families, youth and visitors spent a lot of time exercising, commuting and most importantly exploring and having fun in our City on our bicycle and pedestrian network. The City of Orlando started using counter technology in 2015 to gain data to analyze and better understand how people utilize our pedestrian and biking networks. With this information, we are able to strategically plan for future investments that will continue to ensure our community is a safe place for people of all ages and abilities to get around our City by walking and bicycling. This past year in 2016, our count program focused not only on our existing trail network, but also on our International Drive area to gain more insight into areas where pedestrians and bicyclists may be visitors to our City and not as familiar with the environment in these locations. This 2016 report further details this count data in an easy to read format, including graphs and maps. Over the course of the next year we will continue to take bicycle and pedestrian counts in order to better compare year over year data to plan for future enhancements to provide everyone who walks or rides in Orlando more mobility and transportation options. I hope you enjoy learning about pedestrian and biking use in our City. Hope to see you out on our trails. Have fun and ride safe. Buddy Dyer Mayor, City of Orlando Page 4

INTERNATIONAL DRIVE COUNT DATA This year the count program was tasked with analyzing the pedestrian activity along the International Drive Tourist Corridor. Over three months, the counters were placed at eight locations for a count period of two weeks. These counts are shown in the table below. COUNTER LOCATION AVERAGE DAILY AVERAGE MONTHLY BUSIEST DAY USERS USERS 6200 International Drive 832 25,314 Sunday 6227 International Drive 807 24,571 Tuesday Universal Boulevard Bridge Over I-4 584 17,771 Thursday 5551 Del Verde Way 513 15,623 Saturday International Drive & Oakridge Road 269 8,178 Saturday (Southwest Corner) 5791 International Drive 222 6,757 Sunday 5656 International Drive 213 6,481 Sunday International Drive & Oakridge Road 125 3,809 Saturday (Southeast Corner) Totals: 3,565 108,504 Sunday Results The highest levels of pedestrian traffic occur on International Drive west of Universal Boulevard. The highest pedestrian count location was 6200 International Drive near the entrance to Wet N Wild. This sidewalk location is situated near a LYNX bus stop, I-Ride Trolley stop and the ticket office of the water park. Pedestrian traffic is assumed to be higher during the fall and winter months of the year. These counts were taken in the spring to try and establish a base line for the tourist corridor. Page 9
