The fifth Markham Cycles More theme is: New Markham! As a companion to our last theme, Historic Markham, this theme explores the many great Markham landmarks that have been added in our recent past. Our starting point is Markham Civic Centre, which is celebrating its 30th birthday this year. Since then, great community centres such as Aaniin and Angus Glen have been built, as well as the Pan Am sports centre. New communities are getting new landmarks, such as the Grand Cornell Clock Tower. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since this is a scavenger hunt by bike, we’ve also included an example of new cycling infrastructure: the Lake to Lake trail switchback. And we can’t forget Pacific Mall, which has put Markham on the map as a shopping destination for tourists and people across the GTA. This evolution of city building is beautifully summed up in Marion Bartlett’s sculpture, “The Building of a Community”. Enjoy the hunt!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As always, we’re looking for suggestions on how to improve the cycling network and where to add bike parking. Send us photos with your ideas to earn extra entries in the draw! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
