In case you were wondering about that temporary camera on 59th / Alki – it’s as for one SDOT Traffic study, but without further explanation of what is being investigated, so we asked. An SDOT spokesperson responded, “This camera on the Alki Trail on 59th Ave SW is for the SDOT’s annual bike counting program, which runs in approximately 40 locations across the city during the warm weather months. For more details on this type of counting, see our annual traffic reports on this website. ”The latest report there from 2020 cited an“ average annual daily traffic ”for 2019 for this location as 340.
