Route 132 Corridor Report - Cape Cod Commission

1. Introduction
The Town of Barnstable contracted with the Cape Cod Commission to
provide technical assistance to the town and to study options to guide
development along Route 132 in Barnstable. While the Route 132 traffic
corridor is the main focus of the Commission’s study, the other major
roadways in the vicinity (Bearse’s Way and Route 28) are integral to the
planning and understanding of the area. Therefore, the Commission
looked at and studied all properties fronting and bound by Route 132
(between Phinney’s Lane and the Airport Rotary), Bearse’s Way (from
Route 132 to Route 28) and Route 28 (between Bearse’s Way and the
Airport Rotary). The area bound by these streets was also incorporated
into the Commission’s study area, and includes Corporation Way,
Enterprise Road, Warehouse Road, Nightingale Lane, Hinckley Road and
Pine Needle Lane. The study area is shown in Figure A and includes
existing roadways, building footprints and pavement edges, as well as
several proposed roads and building footprints for projects that have
secured permits but have yet to be constructed.
The study area is generally bordered to the north by retail/industrial
uses and the Barnstable Municipal Airport. To the west is the Barnstable
Water Pollution Control Facility (WPCF) with single-family residential
uses beyond. To the south of the study area is an older residential
neighborhood, the community center and downtown Hyannis further
south still. To the east, Route 28 continues with commercial uses with a
mix of hotel, retail and services. The Hyannis Growth Incentive Zone is
located to the east and south, and borders the study area at the airport
rotary.
