Frisco street repair employee gets artistic with the tar

FRISCO - If you look at something long enough -- sometimes you see a picture.
But it doesn't take a second glance to see the creations on one Frisco road.
A worker added his own personal touch -- that slipped through the cracks -- until now.
At first glance, the maze of black patch work on Sunset Drive looks like any repair work on any street in North Texas. But follow the lines.
There are a few surprises along the road. A sailboat with a sun, and so much more. A flower in a pot and even a dog.
"It appears as if someone got a little artistic," said one passerby.
That someone works for the city - a street repair employee assigned to seal the cracks with tar, took the motto, "Keep Frisco Beautiful" into his own hands.
The city found out about the drawings this week after a neighbor called in to make a report.
The incident which happened back in December is now under review.
"It's the first time I have ever heard of something like this happening," said Gary Hartwell, from Frisco Public Works.
It's not Picasso but some neighbors say they don't mind.
"There should be more art on the road," said one.
City officials haven't decided yet if they'll fix it or leave it.
No action has been taken against the worker because the incident is still under review.
