Fishers is planning it second road resurfacing contract 0f 2022, but may need to find additional funding within the city budget to complete all the planned work.

City Engineering Director Jason Taylor told the Board of Public Works and Safety Tuesday morning that the bid for this project came in at $2.4 million, but there is only  $1.7 million remaining in the road resurfacing budget.  Taylor asked the board to approve the $1.7 million to move the project forward, but will work with the city controller and mayor’s office to find additional funding within the city budget.

The resurfacing contract approved by the board includes (see map above) –  Asphalt road resurfacing & miscellaneous paving work in sections of: Cumberland Rd, Promise Rd, 136th St, 116th St., Ringer Rd, Florida Rd, 104th St., Brookston Place subdivision, Geist Overlook subdivision, The Woods at Grey Eagle, Geist Bay Estates, Hamilton Proper sections
-Chestnut Hill, Audubon Trace, Heather Pointe, Talon Bluff, Turne Grove, Sutton Crossing subdivision, Valleys at Geist subdivision.

The resurfacing is mainly funded by the local Wheel Tax and the city’s share of the Local Motor Vehicle Tax.

The board also approved three Verizon 5G cell tower locations in the Sunblest neighborhood, all north of Holland Park and south of 126th Street.

Board members Jeff Lantz and Jason Meyer were at the Tuesday meeting.  Mayor Scott Fadness, the third board member, was not able to attend the Board of Works session.
