The Thursday log includes 15 separate citations for drivers failing to stop for pedestrians in crosswalks on Washington St. 

According to Police Chief John Moore said the actions were the result of two factors: citizen complaints about drivers not yielding to pedestrians and the successful acquisition of a $5,000 Pedestrian Safety Grant written by Sgt. Goerge Luerini.  

Moore told Holliston Patch that stepped-up enforcement will likely continue and noted that a crosswalk violation is a civil motor vehicle infraction that carries a $200 fine.
