Chris,

Thanks for remember the Bicycle Board.  I do not have any trail use data.  Ella Belling, MRTC Chair or Christiaan Abildso, Pedestrian Safety Board Chair might.  I copied them on this message.

Good afternoon.  Damien and I met with the developer for the Walgreens site in Sabraton this afternoon.  They agreed to meet with representatives from the Bicycle Board, Pedestrian Safety Board, and BOPARC so they can show and discuss improvements they are planning for the general area of the Decker's Creek Trail crossing at Green Bag Road.  Damien or I will let you know when that meeting is scheduled in the coming weeks.

One question they asked was whether or not any data is available to illustrate the amount of pedestrian and bicycle traffic going through this area.  The developer wants to demonstrate to Walgreens the significance and opportunity of potentially providing a connection from the development site to the trail.  Do you have or know who may have this type of data or even trail utilization statistics?

Thank you in advance for your assistance.  Have a safe and enjoyable weekend.

Respectfully,
