Bicyclist Safety Analysis Results <br />It is estimated that Ramsey County has the second <br />highest serious injury rate of bicyclists in the State of <br />Minnesota.10 Overcoming these unsafe conditions will <br />do much to remove a barrier to increase bicycling. The <br />bicyclist safety analysis identifies those areas and streets <br />where most bicycle involved crashes occur. <br />Bicyclist Safety Analysis Map Summary <br />The bicyclist safety analysis identifies streets with a high concentration of crashes <br />involving bicyclists. Segments with multiple crashes are highlighted with increasing <br />intensity, and the result clearly shows corridors where bicyclist -involved collisions <br />are a frequent occurrence. <br />Street segments in gray had no reported collisions. <br />The locations of bicyclist fatalities are specifically identified on the map. These <br />locations indicate a potential problem area, although specific analysis of the crash <br />details is necessary to understand the circumstances surrounding the particular <br />incident. <br />Findings and Notable Results <br />When the crash history data is displayed visually, clear corridors appear with <br />concerning levels of crashes. Fewer high -crash corridors stand out than did on <br />the pedestrian analysis, but those that do correlate with those identified in the <br />pedestrian analysis: <br />• University Avenue W <br />• Snelling Avenue <br />• Rice Street <br />• Summit Avenue <br />Only reported crashes were used in this analysis. These crashes were severe enough <br />to warrant reporting and data collection. Data concerning less severe crashes or <br />near -miss events that may indicate a safety problem is not available and is not <br />included on this map. <br />2B-21 I SYSTEM ANALYSIS <br />
