ORLANDO, Fla. — It’s been two weeks since a shooting in downtown Orlando left seven people injured and reignited the conversation among city officials to look for ways to boost security.
Orlando council members will review a proposed ordinance Monday to create a safer nightlife environment downtown.
That includes more lighting in dark areas and increased security in parking lots open late at night.
The agenda item also recommends looking at noise levels and ensuring places like nightclubs keep their outdoor speakers in check with the noise ordinance.
The city has already implemented extra security points and increased police presence Friday and Saturday nights.
If approved at the first reading Monday night, the ordinance would move to a second reading.
Then the public could weigh in at the next city council meeting.
