Tralee to Listowel Greenway
Study Area - Public Consultation
Introduction
Kerry County Council (KCC) in partnership with Transport Infrastructure Ireland (TII) propose to develop a greenway between Tralee and Listowel.
The Tralee to Listowel Greenway will be an important addition to the Kingdom of Kerry Greenways.
This Public Consultation is intended to be the first in a series of at least three Public Consultations on the project prior to confirmation of a Preferred Option for the Greenway.
The Project Team would like to hear your views in relation to the Study Area along with any information that you would like the Project Team to be aware of i.e. constraints, opportunities, key features, attractors, etc. This information will inform the development of route options.
We would like to hear your views on the proposed Greenway by Wednesday 31st January 2024.
|
Two further Public Consultations are expected to take place in 2024, to present proposed route options before presentation of the Preferred Option. |
What’s Being Proposed
It is expected that the proposed Tralee to Listowel Greenway will connect to the Tralee to Fenit Greenway and the Listowel to Abbeyfeale Greenway.
The Tralee to Listowel Greenway is expected to be approximately 28-30km in length and aims to create a sustainable transport link between the towns of Tralee and Listowel, and the villages of Abbeydorney and Lixnaw.
The Tralee to Listowel Greenway will create a recreational pathway for use by locals and visitors and encourage and promote walking and cycling in a safe and controlled environment.
The Tralee to Listowel Greenway forms part of an overall vision and strategy for the development of an integrated greenway network in Kerry which will enhance the visitor experience and contribute to the economic development of the local communities and the wider region.
