As work on the rst portion of Coit Road wraps up, crews are busy with the next part of the project to widen the road. Earlier this spring the nishing touches were placed on a project that widens Coit from A SH 121 to Main Street from four lanes to six lanes. Trees that were in the median of Coit south of Main Street were removed, and the ones that could be transplanted were moved to various city parks and other public spaces. In January, crews began the second phase of construction, which adds a third lane in both the northbound and southbound lanes on Coit from B Main to Buckeye Drive. The project will also include Frisco’s rst pedestrian hybrid beacon at Hay River Trail, according to a city news video. The beacon will be activated by pedestrians when they need to cross the intersection. It will turn yellow to slow trac, then red to stop drivers and allow pedestrians safe passage. After a set time has elapsed, the light will ash red and then will turn dark until they are activated again. The goal of the beacon is to help people get to and from Maus Middle School. Work in this section is scheduled to be completed at the end of this year or early next. The nal portion of the Coit project will have crews working from C Buckeye Drive to US 380. The city is in the design portion of this part of the project, and the
