Non-Motorized User Counts
The Halvorson Design Partnership team conducted non-motorized
user counts along the Charles River Basin in September 2011. This
data was analyzed and compared to data gathered in September
2009, May 2010, September 2010 and May 2011. Data collected
in September 2011 at 23 locations along the eight-mile-long river
corridor shows over 9,000 non-motorized users per hour on a
weekday evening and nearly 7,000 per hour on a weekend afternoon.
Complete graphics and data for each count are included in the
appendices of this Technical Memorandum.
The September 2011 counts were conducted on a weekday evening
(Tuesday, September 13, 4:30 – 6:30 PM) and a weekend afternoon
(Saturday, September 17, 12:00 – 2:00 PM), and took place at three
types of locations: 1) Charles River bridges, 2) prime locations on both
banks of the linear path system and 3) key connections to the parkland
within the Basin. While these 23 locations overlapped significantly
with the locations used in previous counts, some adjustments have
been made, which are noted in the report. Observations from the
September 2011 count include:
Midweek Count
Tuesday 9/13/11, 4:30 - 6:30 PM
Total User Count = 18,277
Weekend Count
Saturday 9/17/11, 12:00 - 2:00 PM
Total User Count = 13,710
•
The number of non-motorized users on the weekday was
higher than weekday totals from previous counts. The number of
non-motorized users on the weekend was very close to the average
weekend totals of the four previous counts.
•
The weekday non-motorized totals in Fall 2011 indicate
a steady increase in the use of the Basin area bridges and paths
for recreation and commuting.
•
As is consistent with previous counts, activity on the
pathways, crosswalks and pedestrian bridges increases as one moves
downriver. The Lower Basin has far greater activity than the Middle
and Upper basins both during the weekday evening and the weekend

Similar to previous counts, the ratio of male to female
pedestrians and joggers is nearly equal for both days, the ratio of male
to female cyclists is approximately 2:1. These ratios were consistent

•
Bicyclists continue to show a strong preference for riding in
the roadway on the Harvard and Longfellow Bridges, where there are Fig. 1
bike lanes. Bicyclists riding on the sidewalks make up half or more of
total bicyclists on all the other bridges.
•
The count data revealed pedestrian usage to be fairly evenly distributed between upriver and
downriver sidewalks for most of the bridges. Two exceptions were the Craigie Dam and Bridges and the
Western Avenue Bridge. The Craigie Dam users’ dramatic preference for the upriver sidewalk on both
days can be attributed to the presence of the heavily visited Museum of Science on the upriver side of the
Dam. The Western Avenue Bridge users’ preference for the the upriver side is likely due to the fact that it
is contiguous with the Harvard Business School campus.

Non-Motorized User Counts
LONGFELLOW BRIDGE/CHARLES CIRCLE COUNTS
The September 2011 count continued the effort to study all turning movements at Charles Circle, as was
done in the September 2010 and May 2011 counts (see Figure 2 and Figure 3). The weekday evening count
found that 236 pedestrians and joggers flowed between the Longfellow Bridge and Cambridge Street on
the north/downriver side of Charles Circle which is significantly higher than the volumes recorded for this

movement in previous counts. Similarly, the largest volumes of bicyclists traveled westward on Cambridge
Street to the Longfellow Bridge. This overall pattern follows the flow of evening commuters out of
downtown Boston into Cambridge, and is consistent wth the previous counts. The weekend count from
September 2011 showed slightly heavier use on the south/upriver side of the circle, consistent with
the May 2011 count. More data will be needed before a trend can be identified. Of note in both the
September 2011 and May 2011 counts is the heavy use of the crosswalk on the north/downriver side of
the circle which connects the MBTA overpass and the refuge island at the end of the southbound ramp
from Storrow Drive.
COMPARING THE COUNTS
The weekday total for the September 2011 count was higher than any of the four counts previously
recorded by the Halvorson team (See Figure 4 and Figure 7) and the weekend total was nearly equal to
the average of the previous four weekend counts. The weekday evening count on Tuesday, September
13, recorded 21% greater non-motorized users than the weekday average of the previous counts, and the
weekend mid-day count on Saturday, September 17, recorded just 1% fewer users than the average. The
increase varied slightly across the different modes. Cyclist turnout on the weekday evening count was
29% higher than the previous counts’ average, while the pedestrian turnout was 21% higher and jogger
turnout 15% higher. On the weekend mid-day count, cyclist turnout was down 18%, while pedestrian
turnout increased by 3% and jogger turnout by 10%. As has been previously observed in the Charles
River Basin counts, the weekday totals represent a higher percent of commuters and potentially more
consistent behavior, whereas the weekend totals represent more recreational use, which fluctuate more
easily depending upon the weather, holidays, and events (concerts, fundraising walks, etc.) along the
Basin. Consistent with data from previous counts, the weekday total indicates a steady increase in the use
of the Basin for recreation and commuting.

* cool weather with threat of rain
The cooler weather during the Saturday count may have contributed to slightly lower cyclist numbers,
as temperatures were in the mid-60s. It should also be noted that there was a free concert taking place
at the Hatch Shell on the Esplanade Saturday afternoon; the concert officially started at 2:00 p.m. and
music began at 3:45 p.m. The three count locations potentially impacted by this event include the Arthur
Fiedler Footbridge, the Lower Basin South Bank Path and the Charles River Boathouse Path. The Arthur
Fiedler Footbridge user count was significantly higher than average for pedestrians and modestly higher
for cyclists and joggers. The Lower Basin South Bank Path count was significantly higher than average in all
three categories, while the Charles River Boathouse Path had higher than average cyclists and joggers but
lower than average pedestrian users.

Non-Motorized User Counts
In conclusion, the data from the counts is intended to give MassDOT and DCR a baseline of walking,
running and bicycling activity at key locations, helping to inform design and implementation decisions
for bridge and path improvement projects. In the future, the rate of change will be compared with bikeand pedestrian-oriented improvements along the Basin’s paths and bridges, adjacent intersections and
in the communities that surround the Basin. The count times and overall guidelines were developed in
conjunction with the National Bicycle and Pedestrian Documentation Project (NBPDP), a joint collaboration
between Alta Planning + Design and the Institute of Transportation Engineers. The NBPDP guidelines
should be used for all subsequent counts within the Charles River Basin and all data from the counts will be
forwarded to the NBPDP for further analysis and to add to the growing collection of consistent information
about people who are walking and bicycling in different parts of the country.
PLEASE NOTE: The total number of bridge and path users in this count are not a literal representation of the
number of people using the Basin within a two-hour period. This effort involved screen-line counts made
independently at all locations throughout the Basin and did not take into account any turning movements
(with the exception of the Longfellow Bridge.) Therefore, some individuals may have been counted more
than once if, for instance, they had biked the path system for long stretches, walked across a bridge and
turned onto a path, jogged in a short loop along both sides of the Basin, etc.
