The City of Fishers has accepted a bid from Harding Group to repave city streets during 2020 following a Monday vote by the Fishers Board of Public Works and Safety.
The $2.66 million funding will mostly come from the Wheel Tax, although Mayor Scott Fadness emphasized that two parking lot paving projects in the area in commercial areas near City Hall will not by funded by Wheel Tax money.
The bid includes some sidewalk and curb work in the neighborhoods. Subdivisions that will see this work include Auburn Springs, Pleasant View/Sweet Briar, Sandstone, Spyglass Falls and Spyglass Hill. Click here for more details on the work.
The board also approved purchasing 15 new police patrol vehicles, all Ford Explorer hybrids, for a total of $538,155. This only covers buying the vehicles, not the cost of outfitting each one with equipment for police use.
I just hope they get someone new to paint the lines. Indianapolis, Fishers, and parts of Noblesville now have the worst line painting I’ve ever seen. It’s like a bunch of clowns got together and decided to paint silly string everywhere not once or twice but three times each year.
