The planned roundabout at 131st Street and Brooks School Road will now feature two lanes instead of one.

In April, the Fishers Board of Public Works and Safety approved a contract with American Structurepoint to design a single-lane roundabout at that intersection. However, during the design phase, city engineers determined that a larger, partial two-lane roundabout would better accommodate future traffic needs.

Engineering Director Hatem Mekky told the board that expanding Brooks School Road to additional lanes could be considered in the future. Construction on the roundabout is currently scheduled for 2026.

The board also approved several other items during its latest meeting:

• Sewer Agreement: The City of Fishers reached an agreement with the Townhomes at Fishers Pointe Homeowners Association. The HOA will transfer a portion of its private sewer and grant an easement where the sewer extends beyond the existing easement line. This connection will provide sanitary sewer access for the upcoming Maple Del development, planned for 116th Street and Maple Drive, just west of the Nickel Plate District.

• King Jugg Patio Project: The popular Lantern Road establishment received approval for a temporary right-of-way to allow construction of an outdoor dining area.

• Billericay Park Solar Panels: A change order was approved to add solar panels to the Billericay Park building. The project had been delayed due to a wait for federal Department of Energy vouchers but is now underway.

• Snow Removal Contract: WR Logistics was awarded the snow removal contract for the new Fishers Event Center this winter. The base bid is $113,544, though costs may vary depending on weather conditions. The contract allows the city’s Department of Public Works to focus on other areas during snow events.
