    Compared to Nov 2009 bikes rose by 10% or more at 3 of our 4 count points, but fell 10% northbound on Forrest Road (i.e. heading towards Princes Street).  This is exactly the pattern we saw in our May count.

    "but fell (both ways) on Forrest Road"

    Why are people riding both ways on Forrest Road?

    "Why are people riding both ways on Forrest Road?"

    Presume this is actually Bristo Place. (Previous count.)



    The other side is FR.

    Maybe it's because they can no longer turn left at the bottom/north of the Mound, or got used to the Mound being closed at the north end and are using alternative routes...

    "Maybe it's because they can no longer turn left at the bottom/north of the Mound"

    Spokes has this as most likely option -

    removal of the left-turn into Princes Street at the foot of the Mound (supposedly temporary, but still not dealt with)

    "or got used to the Mound being closed at the north end and are using alternative routes..."

    Not clear how this was factored in - there have been various Mound closures plus G IV B lane closure because of Missoni.
