Walled Lake reboots Traffic Safety Board, names Jay Easter chair
Summary
Council reactivated the Traffic Safety Board and swore in Jay Easter as chair; the board will recruit volunteers and coordinate with Walled Lake Schools on bus stop reviews and traffic‑calming work.
Mayor Pro Tem O’Rourke and council announced the return of the Walled Lake Traffic Safety Board and introduced Jay Easter, who said he has been sworn in as chair and will work with the police chief and Oakland County’s Traffic Information Authority. “We need at least a couple more to join,” Easter said, and urged the board to secure representation from the Walled Lake Schools transportation supervisor to help review bus stop layouts and pedestrian safety.
Easter highlighted past work — intersection redesign on Pontiac Trail and East Walled Lake Drive, bus‑stop consolidation that reduced stops from five to three, and crosswalk painting — as examples of low‑cost changes that improved safety and school transportation efficiency. Council members encouraged recruiting volunteers across the city and suggested the board aim to be operational before the next school year.
