# Conservation Commission 10-13-2026

The Barnstable Conservation Commission held a public hearing on October 13, 2026. The main procurement-related item was the continued review of the Town Department of Public Works’ proposed repair and rehabilitation of the Creekville Beach Road bridge, including associated embankment and roadway work. The project team reported incorporating comments from the Division of Marine Fisheries, including removing turbidity curtains and submitting a salt-marsh monitoring and mitigation plan; seasonal fish-passage and harbor-channel restrictions were also discussed. The transcript indicates the DPW had initially planned to put the project out to bid later, but provides no bid date, budget, contract award, or vote on the bridge application before the transcript ends.

The Commission unanimously approved the 2027 hearing schedule and several property applications as negative determinations, covering residential deck and addition work, landscaping, a septic upgrade, foundation piles, and commercial storage improvements. Two other applications were continued to October 20 so revised plans could show mitigation-area demarcation. No contract awards or spending amounts were identified.
