A traffic consultant hired by the City of Fishers has completed a study on possible locations for a traffic signal in the Spyglass neighborhood area along 116th Street. The Board of Public Works and Safety reviewed the findings Tuesday morning and plans to seek feedback from residents before making a final decision.

The study, conducted by A & F Engineering, recommends placing a signal on 116th Street at either Klotz Farm Boulevard or Spyglass Ridge Drive. In addition, the consultant suggested building a connecting street between Laurel Falls Lane and Knightsbridge Boulevard to improve neighborhood traffic flow.

That connector had been the original recommendation from city engineers, but the Board of Works previously voted in favor of adding a traffic signal after hearing concerns from residents in the Spyglass and Spyglass Falls neighborhoods. The new study was commissioned to determine the most suitable intersection for the light.

Mayor Scott Fadness acknowledged the neighborhood connector remains a divisive issue. Some residents support the idea, while others strongly oppose it. He noted that even without the connector, neighborhoods would see benefits from a nearby traffic light, since stopped traffic on 116th Street would make it easier to turn out.

The consultant also concluded that adding another signal between Cumberland Road and Hoosier Road would cause “minimal disruption” for motorists. The study included projections of future traffic growth.

Other board action:

• The city clarified days and hours for parking restrictions in two areas.  The streets involved remain the same. Near King Jugg, restrictions will apply Thursday through Monday from 8 p.m. to 2 a.m. Near the Al Huda mosque, restrictions will remain in place each Friday from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m.

• The board renewed the city’s contract with Fall Creek and Delaware townships to provide fire and emergency services in unincorporated areas outside Fishers city limits.
