A Hybrid Design Public Hearing (Virtual and In-Person) will be held to present the design for the proposed Park and Ride Expansion and Improvements at The Route 132 Park and Ride project in Barnstable, MA.

Purpose:

The purpose of this hearing is to provide the public with the opportunity to become fully acquainted with the proposed Park & Ride Expansion and Improvements at The Route 132 Park & Ride project.

Proposal:

The proposed project consists of expanding the existing facility by adding 270 vehicle parking spaces, including pick-up/drop off area, accessible parking, electrical vehicle charging stations; replacing the existing bus passenger shelters with new larger ones (e.g., transparent sides for passenger safety and bollards along the perimeter), accessible pedestrian facilities and ramps, and improved lighting.
