Cyclists ride the Canal Service Road, also called the bike path, on the north side of the Cape Cod Canal, heading toward the Sagamore Bridge, September 15, 2022.

It's the local news roundup on The Point. Among the stories we're talking about: there are plans to keep the bike path at the Cape Cod Canal safe for cyclists and pedestrians during construction of the new Sagamore Bridge; Orleans proposes a ban on crypto kiosks; and we've all but wiped out wild oysters. Bringing them back could help solve some big problems.
