Location and primary causes of the collisions will be the focus of this analysis. Significant changes in collision trends will be documented. Estimate of bicycle commuters (BTA item a) -Consultant will estimate the number of bicycle commuters currently in San Leandro using a variety of data sources including Journey to Work data from Census 2000, bicycle counts taken by the City or as part of the MTC Bicyclist and Pedestrian Data Collection effort, bicycle parking counts at the two San Leandro BART stations, and other available information from relevant plans. Data will be augmented by information provided by city staff, interviews with the Chamber of Commerce, major employers and/or field research.
