Part of Warren Parkway to close for 40 days
The eastbound portion of Warren Parkway between Dallas Parkway and Miners Creek Road will be closed for about 40 days beginning Monday. The road is being closed to be reconstructed.
The city recommends drivers who normally take that route use Gaylord Parkway as an alternative route.
The closure is part of the Dallas Parkway widening project. Another lane is being added to northbound and southbound Dallas Parkway, and intersection improvements will be made at Warren and Lebanon Road.

Frisco City Council to vote on juvenile curfew, speed limits
Frisco City Council will vote on several items during Tuesday's meeting, including re-establishing the juvenile curfew and increasing the posted speed limits on three roads.

The three roads proposed to have increased speed limits are as follows:
