Speed limits are rising in Clarkston.
After a state speed study based on the number of access points, Waldon Road between Main Street and near Clarkston Elementary School will go from 25 to 35 miles per hour. On Holcomb Road from Miller Road north to the city limits will go from 40 to 45 mph.
Clarkston City Council voted unanimously to approve the changes. However, it formed a committee including City Manager Dennis Ritter, council members Steve Hargis and Jim Brueck, Planning Commissioner Craig McCloud, police Chief Dale LaCroix, Joe Luginski, and DPW Director Bob Pursley to talk to state officials about lowering the speed through the Main Street business district from 30 to 25 mph.
