Keller City Council approved a two-year Specific Use Permit, or SUP, extension and a request for updated drive-thru lanes for The Shops at Keller Marketplace.

The extension was approved 6-1, with Place 4 Council Member Tag Green voting against the extension at a regular meeting Jan. 6.

In a nutshell: A development lot along Keller Parkway is proposed to become the new building for Frost Bank in Keller, according to city documents.

The 7,000-square-foot bank will have four stacking spaces per drive-thru lane, which was approved unanimously by council.

What they're saying: “I’m not able to be supportive of extending an SUP that I don’t think follows the spirit of what we approved the first time,” Green said.

Place 6 Council Member Karen Brennan said the change was not significant enough for her to oppose the plan.

“We’ve gone from a bank and three restaurants to a bank and two restaurants. I do not see that as a gross change in usage,” she said.

Can Am Pizza, a Washington-based pizza place, is opening its second Texas location in Keller this year.

What they offer: Can Am Pizza has gourmet, specialty and East Indian flavor pizzas, a restaurant representative said. The menu also offers pastas, gyros, calzones, oven baked subs, wraps and wings.

Some menu options include:

• Can-Am Mediterranean Pizza
• Mexican Fiesta Pizza
• New York Deli Pizza
• Hawaiian Deluxe

The Dallas Fort Worth International Airport board approved a $582 million revision to the contract for Terminal F and Skyline Station during the Jan. 8 meeting.

The revision supports future phases of the Terminal F expansion, but does not impact the anticipated opening of Phase 1 of Terminal F in 2027, according to the presentation.

The details: The new contract with Innovation Next+ is now $1.7 billion and the current contract was extended by 379 days. The new projected end date for the work is Aug. 29, 2028.

The change order calls for earthworks, structure and building envelope to expand the concourse capacity for future passenger processing and concessions areas of Terminal F.

Also on the agenda: Atrius Wayfinder, previously LocusLabs, was given a $1.8 million contract to upgrade the DFW Airport mobile app.

The Oakland, California-based company will add enhanced indoor navigation and wayfinding for users. It will also provide the ability to generate heat maps, dwell-time analysis for future planning by concessions and customer experience in the airport, according to board documents.

Eight Republican candidates are running to represent Texas in the U.S. Senate during the upcoming March 3 primary election.

The big picture: Republican incumbent John Cornyn is seeking a fifth term as Texas' senior senator. Each state has two U.S. senators—Cornyn currently serves alongside Republican Ted Cruz.

Seven Republican candidates are challenging Cornyn for the Republican nomination: John O. Adefope, Anna Bender, Virgil John Bierschwale, Sara Canady, Wesley Hunt, Gulrez “Gus” Khan and Ken Paxton.

If no candidate receives more than 50% of the votes in the Republican primary, a runoff election will be held between the two top vote-getters on May 26.

Looking ahead: The winning Republican candidate will face the winner of the Democratic nomination in November; the winner of that election will be sworn in to the U.S. Senate in January 2027.
