UPDATE:
September 10, 2021
The Town of
Barnstable promoted two successful summer seasons
for the small and local businesses on Hyannis Main
Street in the face of a pandemic that altered access
and normal activity over a 14-month period. In
response, there has been positive feedback from
merchants and visitors regarding the efforts by Town
staff in the Planning & Development, Licensing and
Public Works Departments to accommodate small
businesses by allowing outdoor dining and retail,
converting public parking to social distancing space
and collaborating with community organizations to
create events and activities that attracted visitors
and residents, who felt safe and comfortable with
the added space-making concrete barriers that were
installed each summer that allowed for expanded
outdoor public areas and dining space.
The
Town of Barnstable will be removing the barriers on
Hyannis Main Street starting Wednesday, September 15
and continuing Thursday, September 16. The work will
occur at night, weather permitting. Businesses and
restaurants with expanded outdoor dining or outdoor
business areas should remove any personal property
to allow the Department of Public Works to have
access to clear the area. Restaurants that had
outdoor dining areas prior to the COVID-19 State of
Emergency may revert to using the previously
permitted footprints. For questions regarding
outdoor dining areas, please contact the Licensing
Division. Questions can be directed to Elizabeth
Jenkins, AICP, Director of Planning & Development at

508-862-4678.
