Going westbound on isolated Water Street from Downtown, there was a plainclothes officer in a civilian car with a radar gun just past the marina near the Smith Avenue bridge. He radioed ahead to more officers waiting about 500 yards down, who would walk out in the road and pull speeders over. It’s usually St Paul police getting cars just before the road becomes Lilydale Road in Dakota County. This reporter was ticketed for doing 50 mph in the 30 mph zone.
