Residents can now use a new interactive map to find shaded areas in Plano based on the time of day and season.

In a nutshell: The new Plano Shade Map provides 3D modeling of the city’s green spaces to show shade patterns across the city. The tool is meant to help residents plan visits based on shaded areas in preparation for warmer weather, according to a city news release.

The map lists a number of Plano’s parks for residents to choose from and has a sun button to change the map based on the date and time.

“This tool helps residents take the guesswork out of planning a park visit,” Parks and Recreation Assistant Director Dave Angeles said. “By showing how shade moves throughout the day, it gives people the ability to choose the time and place that works best for them.”

Several North Texas locations of The Container Store are set to receive Bed Bath & Beyond merchandise in the coming months.

What's happening: After Bed Bath & Beyond acquired The Container Store in April, the company is rebranding 98 stores nationwide to The Container Store + Bed Bath & Beyond, according to a news release. The combined stores will carry products from both brands, such as furniture, storage organizers and home decor, with Bed Bath & Beyond products arriving later this year.

What they're saying: “This is a reset with purpose,” said Jen Pape, senior vice president of stores at The Container Store, in the news release. “We are actively reshaping our stores to make room for what’s next. By streamlining select categories today, we’re creating the space and flexibility needed to introduce Bed Bath & Beyond products and deliver a more complete home experience for our customers.”

Following pressure from summer camp operators, lawmakers and legislative leaders, Texas is suspending a requirement that all camps install “end-to-end” fiber-optic internet infrastructure before opening this summer.

The background: After catastrophic flooding in Central Texas killed more than 130 people—including 28 deaths at Camp Mystic, an all-girls Christian camp—last July, state lawmakers passed a pair of laws designed to strengthen safety and emergency preparedness requirements for all Texas summer camps. One provision of the laws requires that camps install two types of broadband internet, including a fiber-optic system.

Nineteen camp operators sued the state over the fiber-optic rule in April, citing million-dollar installation fees and limited access to fiber-optic services in rural parts of Texas.

What's happening: The Department of State Health Services, which licenses youth camps, said it reached an agreement with the camp operators May 7. Under the agreement, Texas camps that maintain “redundant” broadband internet services—such as cellular, microwave or satellite technology—will not have their license revoked or denied as long as they meet all other safety requirements.
