In the spring of 1996, following the paving of Bison Street, another 24-hour count was attempted. Two attempts were made to collect counts; however, the tubes were removed both times prior to completion of the 24-hour count period. A neighbor also called to report that he observed a car driving back and forth over the tube While it was in place. Based on that, any information regarding tube counts is highly suspect. A visual observation by an intern was conducted during a two-hour period between 7:00 a.m. and 9:00 a.m. on May 7, 1996. The results of this peak morning rush period shows eight vehicles used 171 st Avenue and six vehicles used Bison Street north of 171 st Avenue. City Council/August 13, 1996 Page 19 of 22
