After review of the Draft Province Wide Cycling Network the City of Markham provides the following comments:

The proposed Connecting On-Road Route facility located on 19th Avenue is not identified in any of Markham’s Cycling Plans (including the Cycle Master Plan and City 2014 Official Plan). What is the basis for this linkage? An alternative to consider is Elgin Mills Road, which will be closer to the new future urban area in Markham including amenities and other points of interest.

Cycling Facilities on parts of Hwy 7 are under construction. Currently cycle tracks are in construction on Hwy 7 from Town Centre Blvd to Sciberras Road. As well bike lanes are existing on Hwy 7 between Town Centre Blvd. and Hwy 404.
