Sunset Beach Yoga Tonight, Plus Road Plans in Next Year's Budget
Fishers, IN · September 3, 2026
Cranking the car air conditioner to maximum is practically mandatory before you even clear the driveway this morning. Between soaring afternoon heat and sunset yoga down on the reservoir sand, keeping cool is today's main task.
The Lead
Department leaders gave council members their first detailed glimpse into the city's 2027 fiscal priorities during Wednesday's finance committee session. Seven municipal departments walked through budget outlines shaped heavily by rapid local growth, infrastructure upkeep, and expanding neighborhood emergency coverage.
Public Works presented the largest departmental figure at $17.9 million, bolstered by extensive wastewater plant and lift-station overhauls. On the streets beat, Engineering Director Hatem Mekky outlined plans for widening Cumberland Road, advancing signal modernization, and reviewing a prospective new traffic light along 116th Street near the Spyglass subdivision. Meanwhile, public safety requests prioritized digital forensics and funding four additional paramedics alongside a fourth medic response unit. Council members will examine the line items across upcoming work sessions before public hearings open later this fall.

Spotlight & Story
- Allisonville Road
- In 1833, Kentucky settler John Allison platted forty town lots along an old trading path to Noblesville, inadvertently naming the western corridor thousands of drivers navigate every afternoon. Before macadam and roundabouts, stagecoaches bumped across his wooden bridges for a few pennies.
