Figure 70 shows the LTS scores for the street network in City of Temple and the greater study area.

Walking and biking trips often occur in places where it is comfortable and convenient to make them. People have a need or desire to reach a destination, and they get there in the most convenient, and comfortable way. In the study area, to understand where walking and biking trips might likely happen, an analysis using a grid of hexagons was completed. Hexagons were used as they provide a shape to which different input factors can be evenly attributed. The analysis used the input factors shown below in Table 26. If walking and biking facilities are comfortable and connected to key destinations in the areas identified in this analysis, it is likely that walking and biking trips may occur in those locations. This is not to say that walking and biking facilities should not be present outside of these higher demand areas, but that these areas may be a good place to examine current facilities and potentially make improvements.
