The Ultimate Commons: An Assessment of Bike Path Conditions in Keene, NH

Here we feature our third of six senior capstone projects.  One of the greatest amenities of Keene is the recreational paths that thread through downtown, and wind out toward the surrounding countryside.  In the Fall of 2013, five of our senior geography students analyzed the use and conditions of these pathways by bikers and pedestrians.  As stated in the abstract, “Data were obtained using bike counters, GPS receivers, visual counting and through surveys administered to the public and Keene State College students.”  This project will be presented with five others at Keene State’s Academic Excellence Conference on Saturday, April 5th.  The poster presentation will be from 4:15 to 5:15 in the Student Center.
