Fishers is about to get a new Starbucks Coffee Shop, this one near 116th Street and Olio Road.  The Fishers City Council voted to allow the store once an agreement was reached to install a traffic signal along 116th Street, allowing traffic to flow better with the number of vehicles the Starbucks is projected to attract.  The vote was unanimous.

Council members also voted unanimously to require city council approval for land use near I-69 along 116th and 106th Streets for 120 days, allowing time for the city to finalize the comprehensive plan, called Fishers 2040, that will provide rules for development in certain sections of the city.

The council gave unanimous final approval to an increase in park impact fees, charged to developers when a new home is constructed.  The new impact fees will be, for single-family detached homes: $1,667……Multi-family (apartment): $1,234.
