3.35. Unincorporated County <br />Population <br />Not available. <br />Estimated Number of Bicycle Commuters <br />In 1988, The County of Orange published results to a survey of bicyclists on the Santa Ana River <br />Bikeway. The survey indicated that about 500,000 bicyclists and pedestrians annually use the Santa <br />Ana River Bikeway (a regional, Class I bikeway that traverses central Orange County). Along with <br />the growing population of Orange County, this number has likely significantly increased. Also, the <br />number of bicycle commuters has increased in County unincorporated areas, as new communities <br />such as Las Flores and Ladera Ranch have been developed. <br />Bicycle Accidents <br />Parameter <br />Total # of Bicycle Collisions for 5 Years <br />Rate <br />104 <br />Average # of Bicycle Collisions Per Year <br />20.8 <br />Average Bicycle Collision Rate per 1000 /year <br />0.18 <br />Index (relative to statewide average of 0.32 /1000)2 <br />0.54 <br />Notes: <br />1.
