Frisco residents attend first public hearing for proposed Universal Studios theme park

A public hearing over a proposed Universal Studios theme park in Frisco brought a lot of concerned residents to city hall Tuesday night.

An official with Universal Studios, the developer and the owner of FC Dallas were present, singing the praises of this global tourist attraction. Shanda Evans points to her family's experience living near Disneyland as a reason why a theme park in Frisco will cause problems.

Evans and other Frisco residents were able to address city leaders for the first time about the proposed Universal Studios project during one of two public hearings. Homeowners in an adjacent neighborhood say the park will not only create a traffic mess around them, but also strain first responders.

There are also questions about theme park visitors parking on residential streets and renting neighborhood homes.
