City police target local speeders

The Clarkston Police Department has conducted ‘special attention? projects on several city streets in recent weeks, based on complaints from citizens on certain streets concerning speeders.
Police Chief Ernest Combs told the Clarkston City Council on Nov. 8 of three details between Oct. 11 and Nov. 6.
Over that time period, officers spent more than five hours on Robertson Court, based on times reported by residents, but found no violations.
‘I don’t see any great problems there, so I’m going to discontinue the study there,? Combs said.
Holcomb Road was a different issue. In a total of more than 10 hours, officers stopped 10 violators.
‘There is a problem on Holcomb, with speeders and also some commercial motor vehicle violations,? the chief said, noting the times of the stops varied, but occurred primarily during early evening.
Main Street was another ‘special attention? area, with three violators stopped over more than seven hours.
