Neighborhood Bans Kids from Playing in Street

WTSP: 10 News: Lakewood Ranch, Florida — It’s the day after Christmas and many neighborhoods kids are outdoors trying out their new toys — except for one neighborhood in Lakewood Ranch. The neighborhood of Miramar is a family community that used to be filled with the sound of children playing outside, but the street has been silenced after a rule passed banning kids from playing in the street.

Instead, the Lakewood Ranch High School student says he now spends more time indoors playing video games after the community’s managing company Advanced Management passed a rule prohibiting kids from playing outside in the streets for their own safety.
