Summary
The committee approved design and supplemental agreements for the Langton Road widening and a roundabout, a traffic-analysis contract for the Fishers Event Center corridor, and phase 1 of a Miovision traffic-signal replacement offering cellular connectivity and pedestrian counts.
Engineering staff presented a group of transportation items that the committee approved.
A&F Engineering was authorized to design the Langton Road widening between 106th Street and USA Drive, including a boulevard section and tie-ins to an existing roundabout. Staff said design can begin immediately and construction is planned for next spring/summer.
The committee approved an agreement for a traffic analysis of the Fishers Event Center corridor, covering intersections between 116th Street and USA Parkway (including Ikea Way and the large roundabout) to help streamline event traffic using one year of event data.
A supplemental agreement with VS Engineering for additional roundabout design work (related to adjacent developments and bid-date extensions) was approved; staff said construction is scheduled for next summer.
Engineering also presented a multi-phase replacement of the city's aging traffic-management system with a Miovision cellular-based solution. Phase 1 concentrates on 116th Street (between Humberland and Allisonville) and adjacent signals; features include remote access to signal controllers, real-time vehicle and pedestrian counts, and emergency-service integration. The committee approved phase 1 by voice vote.
Separately, Midwestern Electric was approved for on-call traffic-signal maintenance and required annual inspections.
Staff said the suite of approvals is intended to modernize signal management, reduce fiber-dependency, and prepare the corridor infrastructure for growth and event traffic.
