Hawthorne Bridge bicycle counter, Bicycle counter on Hawthorne Bridge, Downtown Portland, US
The Hawthorne Bridge bicycle counter is a digital display device mounted on the bridge in Downtown Portland that records and shows the number of bicycle crossings each day in both directions. It continuously collects data on how many people use the bridge by bike.
The counter was installed in August 2012 to measure bicycle usage on one of the city's key bridges. Its installation was part of Portland's effort to collect and understand data about bike traffic patterns.
The counter has become part of how locals think about cycling in their daily commute and leisure rides across the bridge. It reflects the city's embrace of bicycles as a normal and valued way to move around.
The counter is always visible and accessible to anyone walking or cycling across the bridge. The display updates regularly to show current daily counts, making it easy to see how many cyclists are using the bridge at any time.
The device records historical data that allows the city to track cycling trends over time rather than just showing daily counts. This long-term information helps Portland document how biking habits have changed and evolved across the years.
