A mahogany welcome sign is also being placed at the corner of North Street and Barnstable Road, and the metal street and parking signs throughout downtown will be replaced with mahogany signs as well. Brovitz added that a local business person is very interested in providing horse drawn carriage rides downtown, but probably won't be ready to do so until next year. Brovitz said there's still a lot of work to be done. Some buildings that could be put to good use stand empty. Changing Main Street traffic to two-way is at least a year off.
More money is needed to improve the North Street parking lot.
Too many businesses were unable to take advantage of outdoor dining because they were unable to meet the board of health's grease trap and rest room requirements. But, Brovitz added, all of the mechanisms are in place to ensure the revitalization of downtown Hyannis.
