West Main Street. Three school institutions. Next generation might not want a car. High density of apartment complexes in Hyannis.

Everything in there will be impacted. Jim Kupfer, CCCC area, adjusting boundaries. What would be impacted. Lindsey Counsell, thinks as general as possible is best. Really an area map.
