NOTICE: Officers will conduct a traffic enforcement blitz the weekend of July 3, 4 & 5 as a reminder to motorists to slow down and observe traffic safety laws when driving in the park. This effort is part of a statewide safety program initiated this summer for state parks.
"Our focus is not on writing a pile of tickets, but to help remind motorists that when they obey the law they are having a direct impact on the safety of our visitors as well as themselves," said Joe Soukup, Law Enforcement Supervisor of Cleveland Lakefront State Park. "We want this to be a positive program that results in fewer accidents and speeding."
