Hays High students causing parking problems in Plum Creek

Congestion caused by an influx of Hays High students parking vehicles within the Plum Creek subdivision is forcing emergency officials to take action.

By limiting parking on Wetzel, Hellman, Mather and Kerbey to only one side of the street, the Kyle Fire Department hopes the move will allow emergency vehicles better to access the neighborhood.

Kyle Taylor, Kyle Fire Department chief, said officials wanted to make changes after struggles to get fire trucks and ambulances through parts of Plum Creek. Taylor said the congestion was caused by Hays High students who were parking their vehicles on area streets due to a lack of bus service.
