Comer to crack down on speeders

Comer is planning a crack down on speeders.

Police Chief Brent Zellner informed the council that he continues to receive complaints from residents of speeding on city streets. He said that recent complaints are centered around Madison Street. The street has a posted speed limit of 25 mph.

The council is considering the reestablishment of speed bumps in some areas of the city, but such devices must be properly designed and installed along with warning signs, insisted council member Laquita Bridges. Past uses of speed bumps have not had the desired effect.

Meanwhile, Chief Zellner assured the council that he intends to increase patrols in the areas that produce the greatest number of complaints.

Chief Zellner reported that his department made six arrests in September. The police department issued 47 citations, wrote 15 incident reports and investigated two accidents. They answered 229 calls for service.

The council decided to let the state Department of Transportation deal with the easements for relocating water lines along Hwy 72 in the Southern Hardware area. The changes will be necessary for the extension of the four lane of the highway.

Comer’s Christmas dinner will be held Dec. 7. The location of the dinner has not been determined. In the past, it has been held at the Comer Volunteer Fire Department, but it may be moved to the new Transportation Museum. The choice will be announced later.

by cracking down, i assume the roads 72, 98, and 22 will be most affected.
lot easier to set a speed trap there.

Beginning of Paoli Street from Hwy. 98 has ALWAYS been bad with speeding, but never complained because I didnt think it would do any good since I am not on city council. Seems like ONLY the roads the council members live on seem to get all the attention!! One of the members, had his little road turned into a ONE WAY street that has always been a 2 way since I was a little girl, then later, it even got a new repavement. Another council member, comlains about speeding on his road, and it got attention as well!! Sound familiar??
