Making America into Amsterdam

Portland claims 7% of trips in the city are by bike, at least that's how I understand the stat -- it is mode share. That number is zero in places and over 20% in places, and those high percentage places are exactly what you would expect -- flat, high density, close-in and very Bohemian with (believe it or not) modest bike facilities, mostly bike lanes and some traffic calmed streets. I don't know the exact stats off hand but in Montreal the highest cycling content is around the Plateau/Mount Royal area. It's anything but flat there. With the amount of auto traffic, I think the bike lanes and paths help increase usage. But this is also near most of the universities. Parking is extremely expensive. A lot of the young hipsters live around here. All of these things contribute. |
