What happened
In September, Frisco City Council approved a $332,700 contract with consulting firm Gateway Planning to update the 20-year-old downtown master plan. The update will include re-evaluating land uses and an update to current traffic and parking conditions. The city also created a committee to provide feedback to the consultant.

The latest
The committee held its first meeting Oct. 30, in which it discussed future meeting dates and received an overview of the master plan.

What’s next
The update to the plan is expected to be complete in August. In the meantime construction will begin soon on two new developments in downtown Frisco, including the Patios at The Rail.
