Over the last two weekends members of the Greenway Trust have been carrying out counts of users of the Greenway at two locations, in Burton Green and Kenilworth respectively. While we have the total daily user data recorded automatically by the electronic counter just north of the Coventry Road bridge, we wanted to establish a more detailed pattern of usage. The results of the counts have now been analysed. All data is presented in terms of hourly rates.
At Burton Green on the morning of Sunday 6th July, we counted a total of 344 users over a period of just over 4 hours, a rate of 84 per hour. 50% were cyclists, then walkers, dog walkers, runners and horse riders in that order. Directions of travel were well split across all six options, with a lot of users entering or exiting the Greenway via the Cromwell Lane ramp.

On the following Saturday morning (12th July) at Burton Green, total numbers were quite a bit lower, with an hourly rate of 33. The proportion of cyclists was even higher at 63%, as was the proportion entering or exiting the Greenway via the Cromwell Lane ramp.

At the Kenilworth location (the junction with the University route) on Sunday 6th July, the total hourly rate was higher at 91. Again cyclists were in the majority (53%). The majority of users were going straight along the Greenway in either direction, but with a sizeable minority going between Kenilworth and the University or the reverse.

On the Saturday at Kenilworth, the reduction in usage rate compared with the Sunday was not as marked as at Burton Green. 74 users per hour were recorded. The proportion of cyclists was lower at 43%, with a higher proportion of walkers. Again, most movements were up and down the main Greenway.
