Motorists will be prevented from making U-Turns on 116th Street in the area of IKEA Way, just east of Interstate 69, following action Monday afternoon by the Fishers Board of Works and Public Safety. City Engineering Director Jeff Hill told the board the placement of “No U-Turn” signs will prevent those turning right from Portillo’s to make a legal U-Turn at the traffic signal on IKEA Way in order to access I-69.

Hill said there will be signage directing drivers to correctly navigate toward I-69.

The board also acted to officially set the speed limit on Atlantic Road near I-69 at 35 miles-per-hour.

In other action, the board accepted a $930,700 bid from Wilhelm Construction to build a 10-bay parking garage at the city’s Wastewater Treatment Plant. The garage is being built to protect vehicles and allow temperature sensitive equipment to be utilized year round.

A proposed $550,000 contract with Ratio Architects to design improvements in the area of City Hall, mainly around the area between the Amphitheater and City Hall, was pulled from the agenda at the last minute. No reason was given.
