Pedestrian and Bicycle System Analysis Results Combining all levels of the system analysis reveals the areas that rank highest across each analysis area. The highest scoring locations combine high population densities and high concentrations of equity populations with a poor safety record and lower quality facilities. Improving these areas can do the most good for the most people. Pedestrian and Bicycle System Analysis Map Summary The system analysis maps presents the overall combined results of all previous analysis areas. Each street is ranked from low to high, representing the overall level of population demand and facility need. Moderate scores on this map, such as North Saint Paul or Roseville, indicate that an area may have scored highly on one analysis, but not on another. High scores, such as downtown Saint Paul, indicate an area that scores highly is many analysis areas. Findings and Notable Results Downtown Saint Paul stands out as the highest ranking area in the overall system analysis. The downtown core ranks highly across every analysis area, and improvements there would benefit many people and improve currently inadequate conditions. Differences in Pedestrian and Bicycle Results In general, the system analysis results for the bicycle system match those for the pedestrian system. This is because of the similar conditions and factors used for each mode. Some factors, such as a population density and equity concentration, are identical in the analysis for each mode. The safety analysis is unique for bicyclists or pedestrians, but the overall concentration of crashes involving these users tends to be clustered around the same areas and streets. Areas ranked slightly higher on the bicycle system analysis are: • Northern neighborhoods in Saint Paul • The Highland neighborhood in Saint Paul • The Baker -Annapolis neighborhood in Saint Paul Areas ranked slightly higher on the pedestrian system analysis are: 2B-30 I SYSTEM ANALYSIS
