The City of Fishers has been busy preparing for the upcoming winter storm, starting Monday morning, and Mayor Scott Fadness says the seasonal and part-time snow-fighting staff is being gathered to battle the storm.
The National Weather Service issued a Winter Storm Warning Tuesday morning, effective 7am Wednesday through 1am Friday. Between 6 and 10 inches of snow is predicted, along with one-tenth of an inch of ice (which is a lot a ice).
According to the Weather Service, travel could be “difficult to impossible” during the warning period.
City crews are getting all the equipment ready to hit the Fishers streets once the precipitation begins to fall. Also, the city is preparing the Emergency Operations Center, putting it on standby, if the situation escalated to a point where than would be needed. That would allow all the Fishers decision-makers to be in one place if events move quickly and action is needed.
“We’re prepared, we’re ready ,” Mayor Fadness says.
In case other runners, bikers, and walkers are reading this – they did plow the (Nickel Plate) trail last week after a 2 in. snowfall.
Let’s see where this much-touted local destination falls on their priorities’ list this time around.
And I don’t want to hear about the budget. They spend so much money on things that can be cut. If you’re going to value your infrastructure, you should be able to include things like this – snow storms – in your annual maintenance budgets.
How about we Build Back Better here – locally, and show Biden et al. that it really is a republican idea unlike the Californias and the New York Cities that they’ve run aground.
