Fishers plans to resurface roads this summer in a number of neighborhoods, particularly Sunblest.  Two main throughfares are to be resurfaced – both 126th Street and Promise road, in the area of Fishers High School.  The $2.9 million bid was under the engineer’s estimate.  The funding will come from the Indiana Community Crossing Matching Grant of $1.4 million, with the wheel tax and other local sources rounding out the funding.  The Board of Public Works and Safety approved the bid acceptance at its Tuesday morning meeting.

In others actions by the Board of Works:

–Federal funding is now approved for roundabout construction at 96th Street & Cyntheanne Road, along with 131st Street and Howe Road.  Construction is expected in 2025.

–10 Verizon 5G towers will not be constructed in Fishers since it has been 2 years since initial approval of the rights-of-way.  It is another sign Verizon may not plan to construct any new 5G towers in Fishers.

–The developer of Cyntheanne Woods plans to dedicate land to the city for a park as part of 61 residential units to be constructed.  Since the city has no current plans for a park in that area, the perimeter path and pedestrian bridge (over Thorpe Creek) across the Cyntheanne Road frontage would be constructed, but not until the park land is developed.  The developer has agreed to incorporate the construction of the path and pedestrian bridge into their residential development plans.  In return, the city will provide Park Impact Fee Credits for the proposed 61 residential lots and a one-time payment for the improvement costs, which exceed the credit amount to compensate the developer for the improvements.
