That's one bridge downtown, and as noted in the article, the summer peak coincides with the nearby I5 closure and the World Cup in Seattle.

The 2024 Community Survey shows bike usage has barely budged compared to the amount invested.

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.
