Officials consider new trail signage system Frisco officials are working on a new system of signage for city trails. Frisco City Council discussed the new system at a work session June 3. The details The goal of the trail signage is to improve wayfinding and to establish an identity for the local trail system, city staff said at the June 3 meeting. Staff settled on the design of the signs after a public survey was sent out in September 2024 about the new system. There will be directional signs, ones for bike trails and others to identify the trails themselves. The system will also include signs to kiosks, Frisco destinations and local art installations.
Frisco City Council OKs new child care center near neighborhood A new child care facility will open in Frisco.

The details The facility will sit on the northeast corner of Coit Road and Westridge Boulevard, have a maximum enrollment of 250 students and provide a 16,681 square-foot play area. The play area is larger than what is required by city code. As part of the specific use permit process, a sound study needed to be conducted to determine how much noise the site would produce and whether it would impact area residents.

the new Primrose location sits near a single family neighborhood. City staff recommended denial of the specific use permit because the facility wouldn’t comply with Frisco’s comprehensive plan, specifically regarding the space between the play area and residential developments. Staff wanted the facility to be reconfigured to help dampen the noise produced at the site. What happened? Commission members said they felt the facility was far enough away from residential develop- ments to approve the permit. City Council mem- bers agreed at their meeting June 3, unanimously approving the permit.
