Noblesville Common Council - 11/10/26

The Noblesville Common Council meeting on November 10, 2026, included several infrastructure funding and project updates. The council approved Resolution RC-45-26, authorizing an approximately $216,000 advance payment to an unnamed consultant for design work on the Nickel Plate Trail bridge over 146th Street. The payment will use grant funding that must be spent by year-end; the consultant must provide a surety bond and reimburse the city if the work is not completed. The design is expected to be completed next year, with construction dependent on future funding. The council also heard that Noblesville received a $9.9 million SS4A grant for Greenfield Avenue improvements and a $12 million BUILD grant for State Road 37. A $314,000 Community Crossings grant for Pleasant Street to Union Chapel Road was awarded, and that project is expected to be bid soon. No contract award or vendor selection was reported.

Other project updates included the Embrace Downtown streetscape and underground infrastructure work, the planned second phase of storm-sewer separation on 10th Street, and the delayed Folio Road project. The finance committee discussed an additional appropriation for parking enforcement and garage repairs, but no related council vote was reported. The council approved the claims and several land-use and administrative measures; the Indiana Peony Festival presentation reported attendance and economic impact but no procurement request or funding action.
