I think an easier thing for you to do would be to change the impedance attribute to distance and solve the service areas for distance instead of time.  If you want to make a 10-minute service area, and you assume that pedestrians travel at 3mph, make a 0.5-mile service area.  No need to change any evaluators or worry about historical traffic or fallback times. "Walking" is a restriction attribute that simply prohibits travel on certain roads that are not appropriate for pedestrians. ... View more

Hola, Ernesto.  Sus paradas estan en los elementos de red restringida. En las propriedades, debe hacer clic en "Excluir elementos de red restringida." Ver cuadro. (Lo siento, mi español no es bueno.) ~Melinda ... View more

This might be a dumb question, but did you click the "Solve" button after you changed the Service Area properties?  Nothing will happen if you just change the properties.  You have to click Solve on the Network Analyst toolbar. ... View more

If you already have the routes on a street network (ie, you used the Network Analyst Route tool on a network dataset), you can use the Copy Traversed Source Features tool to create a feature class of the actual street segments that were traversed by the routes.  You can count the number of times each segment was traversed to get the volume of cyclists on the street.  You can also do some clever things with the dissolve tool to sum existing fields in the routes and such. ...

Hello Michelle.  Were you ever able to create your multimodal network dataset with transfer penalties? I just wanted to let you know about a new prototype tool from Esri's Network Analyst team which allows you to add GTFS public transit data directly to a network dataset. You can use this network dataset with the Network Analyst tools to run time-aware analyses that incorporate the transit schedules.  It is possible using this method to incur transfer penalties. You can download the toolset and instructions here: http://www.arcgis.com/home/item.html?id=0fa52a75d9ba4abcad6b88bb6285fae1 Please do not hesitate to contact me at mmorang@esri.com with questions or comments about this toolset. ...

Hello Vita.  It might be too late for your study, but I just wanted to let you know about a new prototype tool from Esri's Network Analyst team which allows you to add GTFS public transit data directly to a network dataset.  You can use this network dataset with the Network Analyst tools to run time-aware analyses that incorporate the transit schedules. You could use this tool to run a service area analysis around your parks for many times of day to compare.  Unfortunately, we cannot currently limit the number of allowed transfers, so it's not a perfect solution yet.

Hi Chris.  This might be too late to be helpful to you, but I think this tool might be helpful for your analysis: http://www.arcgis.com/home/item.html?id=42e57c5ff9a0497f831f4fced087b9b0.  It allows you to calculate buffers around your transit stops and weight them by the frequency of transit trips available or by the maximum wait time between any two trips. Also, if you are considering making a multimodal network, there is a new prototype tool from Esri's Network Analyst team which allows you to add GTFS public transit data directly to a network dataset.  You can use this network dataset with the Network Analyst tools to run time-aware analyses that incorporate the transit schedules.
