This is what Arlington County, VA is doing for automated bicycle counters...similar to vehicle detectors that DOTs use for counting cars, except these are used for counting bicyclists and (in some cases) pedestrians. A list of locations and equipment models is shown halfway down the webpage.
They're also about to unveil a real-time counter display that will display count information for passing bicyclists and pedestrians.
Perhaps other cities will pick up on this. Looking specifically at you, Minneapolis…
