6.3 Tralee The 10-minute walking and cycling catchments would expand with the proposed improvement links in place throughout Tralee. The catchment analysis maps for the proposed improvement connections are illustrated in Appendix I. Additionally, a quantitative analysis was undertaken to understand the difference in population and workplace between the baseline and proposed improvement catchments and they are shown in Appendix J3.
The proposed connections at University Hospital Kerry would result in improved walking and cycling accessibility to the hospital, but also to services such as retail and education. This illustrated by the potential increase in population and workplace catchment for hospitals with increases of 7% and 2%, respectively. This is reflected in Figure 49. The additional connections from residential estates to Tralee to Fenit Cycle and Walkway would assist in increasing the walking catchment between these estates to services particularly leisure and healthcare (GP). This is illustrated in Figure 50.
