Markham

Markham banner.jpg

Markham is a suburban city directly north of Toronto/Scarborough|Toronto in Ontario, Canada. It includes the historic village of Unionville, which is now a legacy neighborhood, and can offer the traveller some cheaper accommodation options if you don't mind the distance from the attractions of Toronto.

Markham is host to a wide variety of technology company headquarters, which included video card maker ATI Technologies, Motorola, IBM Software Labs and Sunday Microsystems (with the exact list prone to change as companies are acquired by rivals). The Town's slogans 'The Mark of Excellence' and 'Canada's High Tech Capital' are well emphasized, with a multicultural community, a variety of events and attractions, and an embracement of old town nostalgia and modern high-tech living.

Main Street

Note that the City of Markham has two streets called Main Street and they are in different parts of the city. Main Street Markham is crucially the same as Markham Road and runs north-south through the city's old town centre called Markham Village. "Main Street North" is a more specific name for "Main Street Markham". Various maps may identify the street as both "Markham Road" and either "Main Street North" or "Main Street Markham". (There is a "Main Street South" south of Highway 7, but it is not as interesting as Main Street North.) Main Street Unionville is further west of Main Street Markham and runs north-south through the legacy neighborhood of Unionville. The two Main Streets are over 4 kilometers apart and both cross Highway 7 near the south end.

Heritage neighborhoods

There are three legacy neighborhoods within the City of Markham where there is a cluster of 19th century structures. They are:

  • Main Street Unionville is the quaintest of the three legacy neighborhoods which is residential at the southern end and commercial (mainly eateries) at the northern end.
  • Main Street Markham (a.k.a. Markham Village) still retains Markham's pleasant small town centre with a number of legacy buildings intermixed with more modern structures. Main Street Markham has more shopping opportunities than Main Street Unionville. Both have a number of eateries.
  • Thornhill has a cluster of legacy buildings along Colborne Street, a quaint residential street. There are few eateries near this legacy neighborhood, and hardly any shopping opportunities. While Main Street Unionville and Main Street Markham may be each a day trip, Thornhill is mainly a brief stopover. Thornhill's advantage is that it is the easiest of the three neighborhoods to reach from Finch Station.

Travel to Markham

Buy a Flight ticket to and from Markham

If you have a private jet, you can fly to Markham. Otherwise, you'll have to be stick to public transit or the car.

  • Toronto/Buttonville Municipal Airport IATA Flight Code: YKZ 43.8608, -79.3686 - Buttonville Municipal Airport

By transit

Public transit access from Toronto to Markham typically begins at Finch Station on TTC subway Line 1 Yonge-University, and then transferring to York Region Transit which offers York (Ontario)#York Region Transit|bus service in York Region (including Viva express buses) serving Markham as well as other communities in York Region such as Newmarket (Ontario) | Newmarket and East Gwillimbury.

However, if you are visiting Pacific Mall and the best way to access these malls by transit is via /Routes/53/RouteDescription.jsp?tabName=map TTC route #53 (Steeles East)] which departs from Finch Station on subway Line 1 Yonge-University. If you are travelling in the east-end, /Routes/43/RouteDescription.jsp?tabName=map TTC route #43 (Kennedy)] going north from Kennedy Station on subway Line 2 Bloor-Danforth and Line 3 Scarborough may be more useful for you.

For Main Street Unionville, take the Viva Blue bus from Finch Station to the Richmond Hill Centre Terminal. From there and the YRT route 1 bus runs to Main Street Unionville; cross the street to the north side to enter the legacy neighborhood. Alternatively, you could take Viva Purple from Richmond Hill Centre to the Vivastation Kennedy Road / Highway 7, and then walk west 500 metres.

For Main Street Markham (a.k.a. Markham Village), take the Viva Blue bus from Finch Station to the Richmond Hill Centre Terminal. From there, transfer to Viva Purple to the Vivastation Highway 7 / Main Markham.

GO Transit provides train and bus service from Toronto to Markham with stops at the Milliken, Unionville, Centennial and Markham GO stations. GO trains on the Stouffville Line operate roughly every hour to Milliken and Unionville GO stations weekdays starting late morning. GO train service to Centennial and Markham GO stations is commuter-oriented with trains running inbound to Toronto during the morning rush hours and outbound in the afternoon rush. GO buses on routes 70/71 are an alternative when trains are not available. Keep in mind Unionville GO Station is 1.33 kilometers from the south end of the Main Street Unionville legacy neighborhood.

By road

Unsurprisingly for a suburb, most travel is typically done by private automobile, with numerous highways and arterials leading in and out of the town.

Highway 404 goes north to south, starting at Green Lane in East Gwillimbury and ending in Toronto as the Don Valley Parkway.

Going from east to west is the privately-held toll Highway 407, which begins in the east at Brock Road and ends 108 kilometers west in Burlington. The 407 is the most overpriced toll road in North America, per kilometre; this road is problematic for rental vehicle drivers as the inflated bill is sent to the vehicle's owner. Alternatives are old Highway 7 (a very busy local east-west surface street) or a trip south on the 404 to Toronto to pick up Ontario Highway 401, Canada's busiest freeway.

For Main Street Unionville and the legacy neighborhood is north of Highway 7 which intersects Main Street Unionville at a traffic light. On the north side of the intersection there are signs marking the entrance to the neighborhood. There is parking off Carlton Road on the south side, east of Main Street.

How to get around in Markham

GPS 43.8690|-79.3121

By road

The main street of Markham is nominally Markham Road (old Highway 48). There is a small downtown, which is largely lost in all the Toronto suburban sprawl.

Like the rest of the Greater Toronto Area, Markham is laid out in grid fashion. The main east-west local avenues in Markham (from north to south) are Stouffville Road, Elgin Mills Road East, Major Mackenzie Drive East, Highway 7, 14th Avenue and then Steeles Avenue East which is the border between Markham and Toronto. Most businesses are located on Highway 7 and Steeles Avenue East.

From west to east and the major roads are Yonge Street (border between Markham and Vaughan), Bayview Avenue, Leslie Street, Woodbine Avenue, Warden Avenue, Kennedy Road, McCowan Road, Markham Road (sometimes known as Highway 48) and then Ninth Line.

By transit

If you are travelling by public transit, three transit agencies operate within Markham: York (Ontario)#York Region Transit|YRT/Viva, GO Transit, and TTC (see the Get In section).

Viva Blue, Viva Purple and Viva Pink are YRT bus rapid transit routes each having good service frequencies. Viva Blue runs north-south along the western boundary of Markham from Finch Station on Subway Line 1 Yonge-University. Viva Purple operates east-west through Markham. One can transfer between Viva Blue and Purple at the Richmond Hill Centre Terminal. Viva Pink follows the route of Viva Blue from Finch Station to the Richmond Hill Centre Terminal and then follows the route of Viva Purple to Unionville GO Station (which is 1.33 kilometers from the legacy neighborhood Main Street Unionville). Use Viva Purple if need to go further east of Unionville GO Station.

[https://?tabName=map TTC route 53 Steeles East starts at Finch Station and runs along Markham's southern boundary with Toronto. Unlike YRT and Viva buses, TTC route 53 has overnight service from 2AM to 5AM, coming every 30 minutes. Rush hour frequencies are particularly good for this route (every 3-5 minutes), reflecting the fact that it is the 19th busiest TTC bus route out of 148.

YRT route 1 Highway 7 has a frequency of about every 30 minutes, and runs roughly parallel to the more frequent Viva Purple.

[https://?tabName=map TTC route 102D Markham Road offers half-hourly service from Warden Station on Subway Line 2 Bloor-Danforth into York Region through Main Street Markham. Such a journey would require both a TTC fare as well as a YRT fare. Route 102D provides most of the local service within Markham Village along Main Street Markham.
