Bellhaven's ridership didn't grow evenly across the network, and it didn't grow simply because more people decided to ride. It grew where the city removed what keeps riders in their cars: the fear of traffic, and routes that don't go anywhere useful. Harbor Line and University Ave got protected lanes first, in 2022, and both show the steepest five-year growth in the dataset. Market Street, the least-protected corridor, also shows the smallest gain. The injury rate fell alongside ridership, not despite it — more protected riders on protected infrastructure produced a network that got measurably safer every year protection expanded.
