True, poor choice of words. But it's one of three bridges between the downtown core and several suburbs, and it's hardly a broad indicator of cycle traffic in the region.

This was in another post but I'm likewise skeptical that "commuting to work" gives a holistic picture of bike usage these days. I live in North Beacon hill, and what I've observed:
- Limes going up and down Beacon Ave constantly. I think a lot of it is young people, I doubt most of them are going to work.
- Healthy amount of bike traffic on 18th Ave S (a stay healthy street. This is my commute)
- The bike garage at Judkins Park station is absolutely packed by ~9:30am every day. People lock their bikes/scooters to whatever they can.
The 2024 Community Survey shows bike usage has barely budged compared to the amount invested.
