Main Street - Streetscape Design - Phase III

The Town of Yarmouth is initiating the third phase of its downtown streetscape improvement plan to realize the Downtown Blueprint released in 2010. Capital funding for the third phase of the project is approved and has moved to the “Design Phase”. This aspirational project is projected to begin construction in 2021.

The following phases of work have been completed to date:

Phase 1 Completion: Hawthorne Street was converted from a ‘service’ street for Main Street from Forest Street to Brown Street to a ‘full’ street with sidewalk, lighting, hardscaping, and softscaping in 2015. This complemented the Yarmouth Farmers’ Community Market located in the Barn at 15 Hawthorne Street. It is now a weekly, year-round community and visitor destination.

Phase 2 Completion: Projects completed in November 2017 were: Main Street streetscape bumpouts at three street intersections at Cliff Street, Brown Street and John Street on Main Street with nine bumpouts.

We are looking for your input. We want to know how you think the street can look and feel and what would make Main Street better for you!
