Automatic counters allowed Victoria’s downtown managers to compare visitation from one year to the next. The data from the Eco-Counters made it possible to develop long-term trends, to provide comparisons of attendance before and after planning projects, and to predict future demand.
Count data collected by the City of Victoria, BC enables:
- Establishing before and after foot traffic counts to justify new investments in infrastructure and pilot projects such as shopping streets.
- Understanding usage patterns of pedestrians as a function of time, infrastructure type, weather, and season.
- Measuring pedestrian traffic on sidewalks and at intersections.
