PLANT CITY Commissioners will vote Monday on a proposed ordinance prohibiting parking on portions of streets bordering the park and playground in Royal Hills subdivision.

President Christine Wynne and other Royal Hills homeowners association officers for the 373-home community on the city's west side, off State Road 574, first raised safety concerns at the commission's March 24 meeting.

Streets bordering the community park and playground on Country Hills Boulevard at Scarlet Maple Court are especially dangerous because children can dart between the parked cars, Wynne said.
At a Jan. 7 public meeting, homeowners association representatives asked the city proceed with an ordinance prohibiting parking at all times on select stretches of 22-foot-wide streets near the park and playground.

The commissioners will hold a public hearing on the ordinance during their next meeting at 7:30 p.m. Jan. 26 at City Hall.
