The City of Fishers has awarded its first road resurfacing bid of the new year.  The Board of Public Works and Safety accepted a bid from Midwest Paving for just under $3 million, with half the cost coming from a State of Indiana Community Crossing Matching Grant.  For more details on where the resurfacing will be done, use this link.

In other items before the board Tuesday morning:

–The first phase of construction for the White River Park, near 96th Street and Allisonville Road, has an run into unusually wet winter, and that has resulted in the need for soil drying and stabilization at the project site. The board voted to provide $73, 460.12 to cover the cost, with the funds coming from the city’s annual budget.

–Two new businesses had their requests for liquor licensing approved as part of the Riverfront District Project Area, allowing such licensing outside the normal quotas allowed.  Voodoo Brewing and Biscuit Boys were approved by the board.  Both are to be located near 106th Street east of I-69.  Those applications will now go before the Indiana Alcohol and Tobacco Commission.

–The board put its stamp of approval on a new No Parking Zone along the both sides
of Britton Park Road, Trade Center Drive, and Park Court generally located south of 141st St and north of 135th Street.  This area was recently included in the city’s road inventory.  In recent months, city officials say vehicles have been parking on both sides Britton Park Road and Trade Center Drive at certain times, creating safety concerns for pedestrians and other drivers.
