BikeArlington Counter Dashboard is now regional!

Tim, do you know who to contact to get the trails shown for Fort Dupont improved?

Also, what about getting a counter on the Anacostia River trail? One between the MLK and Penn Ave bridges would show totals that may surprise a lot of folks. Of course I would like one in Ft Dupont, on the most popular section between Texas/Ridge and Mass, but suspect that is a dream too far.

It’s an NPS park, right? But I assume you know that since you were leading the ride there for the Bike Summit and seemed buddy-buddy with IMBA and the NPS rep there. I feel like I should ask you who to contact!

You’ll need to make that request to DDOT: http://ddot.dc.gov/

NPS has the trails right, as does the OSM and those that use that as source material. It is the DC bike maps that have it wrong. And since it seems the Bike Arlington maps use the DC data as source material, they also have it wrong.

I will make a DC DOT request, as a private non-resident who they do not know, and see how long it will take them to respond. Shame someone who has an established relationship with them cannot contact them, suspect that would speed the process a lot. Same goes for Arlington County and Bike Arlington, does anyone know who at Arlington CO or Bike Arlington to contact?

The map pulls from DCDOT GIS information. Yes, please let them know. What is incorrect? I can also pass it along to some of the transportation folks too.

And what is incorrect in Arlington County?

Nothing according to my knowledge, is wrong with the Arlington County info. I had made the incorrectly assumed the application Bike Arlington is hosting, BikeArlington Counter Dashboard, could be updated without involving DC DOT. That application has the data wrong but as you pointed out, DC DOT, is responsible for that.
