Parking will be prohibited along the west side of Maple Street, between North Street and 116th Street, following action Monday by the Fishers Board of Public Works and Safety. The unanimous vote changes the city’s parking schedule.  A public hearing drew no comments.

“We have seen an uptick in parking on the west side of (Maple Street), which is undesirable and leads to a fairly narrow driving width available,” Fishers City Engineering Department Director Jeff Hill told the board.

Parking will continue to be available on the east side of Maple Street in that downtown area.

In other Board of Works actions Monday:

–Board members approved 4 lots in the Springdale Estates area as public rights-of-way to allow street improvements to be constructed along 116th Street and IKEA Way.

–A water line is to be installed allowing businesses in the east end of Fishers Station at 116th & Allisonville Road to continue water service as construction begins in the new Kroger store.  There will be lane restrictions, mostly overnight, for roughly 3 days in June to allow this work to be completed.  The board approved the road cut required to install this water line.

–The board approved the purchase of seven 2017 Police Interceptors SUV’s and three 2017 Police Interceptor Sedans for the Fishers Police Department.
