Volunteers are needed to count bicyclists and pedestrians at certain intersections in town and cities across the state of Washington next week.
The state Department of Transportation is taking the tally to set benchmarks to track progress toward the state's goal of encouraging people to get out of their cars.
The DOT and the Cascade Bicycle Club are looking for volunteers to count people bicycling and walking on paths, bike lanes, sidewalks and other facilities on Sept. 30 and Oct. 1 and 2 (that's Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday).
Volunteers can go to the DOT website at www.wsdot.wa.gov/bike/Bike_Counts.htm or contact the Cascade Bicycle Club at organizer@cascadebicycleclub.org or calling 206-957-0689.
The cities are Bellevue, Bellingham, Bothell, Bremerton, Ellensburg, Everett, Kent, Kirkland, Longview, Olympia, Richland, Spokane, Tacoma, Vancouver, Walla Walla, Wenatchee, and Yakima.
Volunteers are needed at six locations in each city from 7 to 9 a.m. or 4 to 6 p.m. on all three days. Your choice.
