4. Land Use Issues and Opportunities Issue 1: Gateways There are several gateways located within the study area. On the western end of the study area, the intersection of Route 132 and Bearse’s Way serves a dual purpose. This intersection marks the path to the Hyannis Main Street Waterfront area Growth Incentive Zone (GIZ) and also serves as a gateway to the regional retail area along Route 132. The intersection of Bearse’s Way and Route 28 also serves as a gateway intersection to the Hyannis Main Street area. On the eastern end of the study area, the airport rotary serves as a gateway to several areas: the regional retail area along Route 132, the Hyannis Main Street area (down Barnstable Road), and the Barnstable airport. While these areas function as important gateways to destinations within the town, they have few character-defining features other than signage to reinforce this purpose. Opportunity 1A: Reinforce Gateways Well-defined community gateways are important to people’s ability to navigate through an area and also provide sense of transitioning from one distinct area to another. To reinforce these gateways, the town should aim to coordinate signage, street improvements and public art to better define the important gateways within the study area and to differentiate them from one another. For example, future plans to make improvements to the Airport Rotary and to construct a multi-use path along Bearse’s Way should acknowledge this important role. The town should implement and build on the “Informational Sign Strategy” prepared for the town and explore using additional wayfinding techniques geared to identifying specific areas of town. For instance, branding the regional retail area in a way to make it distinct from Main Street Hyannis or the waterfront area could provide an opportunity for district specific signage to guide travelers into the area. See Figure E for an illustration of gateways within the study area. Directional Signage in San Francisco, simple color-coding and iconography makes way finding simpler for visitors. september 2010 | route 132 corridor Report 13
