Road Closures Planned for Frisco Square Light The Night Event

Roads within the Frisco Square area will be closed on Sunday, November 8, to accommodate the Light The Night walk-a-thon. The city announced that roads surrounding Simpson Plaza will close at 3:30 p.m., with additional closures south of Page Street beginning at 6 p.m. All roads are expected to reopen by 8:30 p.m.

During the closures, residents, customers, and event attendees should use alternate routes to reach their destinations. Vehicle access to the front entrance of City Hall will be unavailable, and traffic will not be able to circulate around the square. Coleman Boulevard will be accessible only from the north.

Event attendees may park in the Frisco Square parking garage west of Coleman Boulevard. The municipal parking garage behind City Hall is accessible only via Page Street before the additional 6 p.m. closures begin. ADA-accessible parking is available on every level of the municipal parking garage adjacent to the elevator.

Beginning at 6 p.m., additional road closures south of City Hall will take effect. The following streets will be closed: Page Street at Library Street, Jacobs Street, Burnham Street, and a portion of South Library Street. Once these closures take effect, drivers heading to the municipal parking garage on Page Street will be able to access it only from the west via northbound Dallas Parkway.

These specific roads are expected to reopen by 8 p.m., while roads surrounding Simpson Plaza will remain closed until 8:30 p.m. Between 6 p.m. and 8 p.m., drivers should use Main Street and John W. Elliott Drive, or Dallas Parkway and Cotton Gin Road, to access the Heritage Center, Babe's Chicken Dinner House, and residences east of Library Street.

Drivers are urged to use caution in the work zone and to find an alternate route in advance. Drivers can also use the Waze app to navigate road closures.
