Mark Tisdel is representative for District 45 which includes Rochester, Rochester Hills and voting precincts 4 and 7 of Oakland Township. This map will tell you if you are in his district. I plan to ask him about the merits of a “protest vote” which he says he recently cast on HB 4277.

The rest of Oakland Township is in District 46, John Reilly is represenatative.

District 45 Representative to the Michigan House of Representatives, Mark Tisdel is urging citizen input to a bi-partisan committee on school safety. Representative Tisdel’s district includes Rochester, Rochester Hills and part of southwest Oakland Township. Details at the link below.

According to a 2016 press release, bridges over 20 feet long are inspected every 2 years. I have requested the latest inspection report. See a summary of the 2016 report and other information here:

Page 3 of the recent Winter / Spring Parks and Recreation Newsletter (link below) gives details of the many activities. Note that you can’t park at Bear Creek Park. You must go to Oakland Christian Church at Rochester Road and Snell Road corner and take a shuttle. Everything is free, including the shuttle.

The next monthly meeting of Safety Paths and Trails Committee is Wednesday, 2/2/22. This committee of citizens appointed by our Township Board of Trustees makes recommendations to the Board for safety path construction. With the Gallagher Road path coming to completion this year, they will be planning their next path. At the Septemember meeting they listed three they saw at that time as high priority to research. Contribute to their research by telling them your preference and why.

• Gunn Road: Adams Road to the Paint Creek Trail
• Adams Road: Gunn Road to Marsh View Park at Clarkston Road
• Snell Road: Rochester Road to Bear Creek Park

See their webpages for more information on this committee and its master plan.
