Warren Parkway. The project broke ground in July and involves reconstructing the existing lanes of Legacy and widening the road from four to six lanes between SH 121 and Warren. The project also includes widening B Town and County Boulevard from Legacy to about 1,400 feet west of Legacy for additional intersection capacity and to accommodate future bike lanes, per city reports. With this project, Oncor Electric removed the median lighting in early June. In July the city worked to relocate 29 trees to various parks around Frisco. Another phase of this project will include extending Legacy from C Panther Creek Parkway to PGA Parkway. This phase of the project is in the design phase and about 30% complete, per city reports. When ! nished, the project will provide a new six-lane major thoroughfare and will be the ! nal segment of Legacy Drive.

HEALTH CARE Donor centers inNorth Texas seeing ‘severe’ blood shortage

to close for a week, o ” cials said. “The blood supply really cannot go without any donations for more than a day,” Goelzer said. Baylor Scott & White-Frisco has kept enough blood to match the pace of the procedures on schedule, according to Dr. Alexandra Beckett, pathologist and medical director of BSW # Frisco’s clinical laboratory. However, Beckett encouraged people to donate platelets, which have a shelf life of $ ve days. Centers like Carter BloodCare are struggling to keep reserves, necessary for emergency crises like maternal hemorrhaging, because donations are shipped to hospitals in about a day. “Do for others what you’d want done for you,” Modawell said. “There’s going to be a day when you’re probably going to need blood, and you’re going to hope and pray that somebody’s [donated].”

Andy Modawell’s hand rested on the cowboy hat in his lap. The other squeezed a stress ball as blood ! owed out of his arm and into a machine. Modawell, who has Type O-nega- tive blood, donated a double portion of red cells at Carter BloodCare’s Frisco location. He has been a regular donor for about 35 years. In June, the American Red Cross announced a “severe” nationwide blood shortage and implored people with Type O blood to donate. The pandemic kept donors at home, and it is unclear how many regular donors were sick, said Linda Goelzer, Carter BloodCare’s director of public relations. Texas’ shortage was exacerbated by the February snow storm. Carter BloodCare has over 20 locations in North Texas. Loss of elec- tricity, water or both led some centers

CITY Annual water use in Frisco up 1.1B gallons; daily use remains stable

BY MATT PAYNE

North Texas region, then overall water consumption will continue to rise. Amenities in Frisco homes that use water also make the recom- mended 140 gallons per person a day a tough goal, he said, adding that a majority of homes in the city have an irrigation system. “It’s going to be di ” cult for a city as a # uent as Frisco to reach [140 gallons per person per day], just because of the number and size of the homes,” Grant said. “The irriga- tion systems, the number of pools … when you think about the state as a whole, Frisco is probably way, way above average in those kinds of amenities.” Grant said the city is consistently anticipating higher demand for water in future years. “The faster that the whole state of Texas grows, the more precious our water becomes,” he said.

In 2020, Frisco saw a 1.1 billion gallon increase in annual water consumption, according to the city’s yearly water quality report. The average daily water usage per person, however, remained rela- tively steady. Last year, water use in Frisco averaged 158 gallons per person per day, which yearly reports indicate is 1 gallon up from 2019. Kevin Grant, assistant director of public works, said that while the statistic is above the state-recommended goal of 140, a mostly static average usage is a good sign for water conservation. “If the gallons per person per day is staying the same, then our water conservation e ! orts are working,” Grant said. “We’ve just got more people.” Grant said that as long as booming population growth continues in the
