Removal and resetting of existing curbing will follow, with scheduling still being coordinated.On North Street, crews will continue preparations for sidewalk, curbing and pedestrian ramp improvements. Initial activities will include surveying and marking proposed construction areas before additional work begins.The Great Streets Downtown Hyannis project is a major initiative intended to improve traffic circulation, pedestrian safety and accessibility throughout the downtown business district.The project includes converting existing one-way sections of Main Street, South Street, Ocean Street and Old Colony Road to two-way traffic.Plans also call for a new roundabout at the Six-Points intersection, improved pedestrian crossings, accessibility upgrades and shared-use paths designed to accommodate pedestrians and bicyclists.Town officials say the changes are intended to reduce congestion, improve access to downtown businesses and create a safer environment for motorists and pedestrians.The two-way conversion is expected to be completed no earlier than the summer of 2027.The project has also generated concerns among some downtown merchants and residents regarding traffic circulation, parking, deliveries and the potential impacts of construction on local businesses.The Barnstable Department of Public Works says motorists, pedestrians and nearby businesses should anticipate temporary traffic changes, construction equipment and active work zones as construction continues.Officials are urging drivers to follow posted signs, use caution and allow additional travel time when navigating downtown Hyannis.All scheduled activities are weather-dependent and may change based on field conditions and coordination with utility providers.Additional information and weekly construction updates are available at Barnstable.gov/GreatStreetsHyannis.Questions about traffic impacts or access during construction can be directed to the Barnstable Department of Public Works at 508-790-6400.Cape Wide News was created in 1998 by Provincetown native Tim Caldwell to provide public-safety, spot-news coverage on Cape Cod.
