Kerry County Council has identified an opportunity to transform the train station foreground with the creation of a new high- quality plaza.
The proposed redeveloped area will create a sustainable transport hub and a serviced termination/start point for the Tralee Fenit Greenway linking to the numerous proposed and existing safe cycling and walking routes throughout the Town.
Several ‘on-site’ meetings have taken place between Kerry County Council and representative of Irish Rail to advance the Casement Station Plaza re- design as a part of Tralee’s URDF proposal.
Working in partnership with Irish Rail, a design team will be appointed to advance the design to planning stage before end of Q1 2024.
