96th & Allisonville roundabout construction set to start in March

The roundabout planned at 96th Street and Allisonville Road is on target to start construction in March of this year, providing weather does not get in the way.  The city engineering department provided that update as the Board of Works & Public Safety approved American Structurepoint to provide construction inspection services as the roundabout is built.

In 2013, the Town of Fishers rebuilt the intersection at 96th Street & Allisonville Road as a “Michigan Left,” requiring those wanting to do a traditional left turn to, instead, turn right and do a u-turn.  The Michigan Left has come under fire and will be replaced by a roundabout once construction is complete.

In one other item before the Board of Works Thursday morning:

The Fishers Farmers Market has a new handbook, providing guidance for vendors.  You can review the handbook at this link.  A total of 79 vendors have been approved for the 2024 Farmers Markets, held Saturday morning at the area between City Hall and the Nickel Plate Amphitheater.
