At least 10 Fishers neighborhoods are in line to have sidewalk improvements installed in 2024 now that the city has accepted a bid of just over $485,000 from Howard Companies.  The funds will come from cash reserves and are part of the 2024 city budget.

Removal and replacement repair work of existing sidewalks are scheduled in sections of the following subdivisions:

Windermere

Sunblest

Pleasantview

Britton Ridge

Sweet Briar

Sweet Briar North

Ridgefield

Brooks Chase

Tanglewood

and

Saxony

Mayor Scott Fadness says the bid came in under the engineers’ estimate, allowing change orders and raising the possibility of 2 more neighborhoods receiving sidewalk upgrades.  2,160 sidewalk panels will be removed under this plan.

Fadness described this sidewalk improvement plan as “a quantum leap forward for us in terms of being able to knock out these sidewalk concerns.”

The Board of Public Works and Safety unanimously approved the bid award.
