For decades, residents of Walden Lake have complained about speeders using roads in the community as a thoroughfare to the other side of town. It’s a complaint PCPD said they’ve continued to tackle, and despite fre-
quent traffic stops, the calls keep coming in. “PCPD had over the years and recently received multiple complaints about speeders and people using Walden Lake as a cut through,” Sgt. Al Van Duyne said. “We use our enforcement to target that and garnered the data from those stops to determine what was really going on.”
