r/Markham

Enterprise Blvd is closed (Friday-Saturday) from Kennedy to Andre De Grasse for pavement work. For anybody going to York U, YMCA, Pan Am or Unionville Go ... take Kennedy and turn onto YMCA Blvd.

Today's (Thursday) only ONE LANE going East-West either direction.

Also note that Warden Ave will be close from Hwy 7 to 16th on Sunday, May 24th for the Run For Women.

Looks like a the whole area is out of power?

My internet has been going down often the last few weeks just wondering if anyone has been experiencing the same.

Maybe my memory is failing me, but does this intersection get repaved every other year or what? 😂

I drive through here all the time and honestly don’t remember there being any major potholes or rough spots. Yet these roads are undergoing yet another repaving.

Does anyone else think this? Or have insights?

Hey :)! Wondering if anyone’s interested in playing pickleball together? Ideally newbie beginners like ourselves.

My partner and I just started playing recently (mid 30s). Looking to find other friendly folks to play doubles with a bit more regularly :).

My go to place has recently raised the price to $20 for men cut. (It was $15) Wondering if there are any places still can do under $20?

Hi all

Do we have any taxi company who has app on the phone that is not luxury and super expensive. For aome reason I do not want to use uber, lyft, or hopp.

Thanks

Looking for both kids and adults glasses in Markham.

We usually go to Noble Opticals in Pacific mall but wanted to check if there were any other recommendations.

PSA: Please be careful and avoid this area if you have dogs/small children!!

I was walking my dog today along the park trail by Austin Drive and Couperwaithe Cres (location photo in comments) when a coyote lunged from the bushes and attacked him. My dog was leashed and I pulled him away asap/screamed which scared the coyote off. Thankfully my dog is okay and I did not have my baby with me but this happened in broad daylight (3pm) and it was very scary 😱 I saw afterwards that this happened to another redditor ~2 weeks ago

When I called animal services, they told me my case is the third dog attack that’s been reported for the same area over the last few weeks. There’s likely a den there but they haven’t been able to find it. He said things can only be “escalated” further by the city if multiple offences are reported

So please avoid this area if you have dogs/small children or if god forbid something similar has happened to you, please report to animal services (905-415-7531) so they can continue to build their case

Avoid this location if you are sensitive to heat or unwell or fasting. First, I want to apologize to patients who had to wait an additional 15 minutes because of me.

I went to this location at 7am and had to wait about a hour to be seen. The issue was that this office has no AC so the room was quite hot. The people working here have said that the AC has never worked and that it is always this temperature. When I was seen, the phlebotomist struggled to get a vein and kept digging into one without attempting another. I started to get dizzy and warned her that I thought I was going to pass out. She ignored me and I fainted. I have never fainted before.

When I came to, they didn't seem to know how to handle me. She asked if I was ok and to sit still (which I did because I was barely conscious) I had to ask for water repeatedly, and had to beg for a garbage can because I was about to be sick. Each worker came by to ask if I was alright but told me to sit still for a bit and finally gave me ice for my neck. Once I was able to walk I had my partner pick me up.

Given this experience they managed only one vial which isn't enough for what my doctor ordered and I'll have to do it again. This is not the first time I've fasted before a blood test but this is the first time I've had this experience. I cannot imagine that a hot office is safe for anyone let alone the specimens they collect. If you come to this location make sure you are incredibly hydrated or have water with you.

It's baby Canada goose season and they are all over the place around HWY 7 + Woodbine area up to Beaver Creek. They cross the street haphazardly, and although this shouldn't need to be mentioned -- they are geese and therefore don't understand traffic laws and conventions (most of you don't either) -- keep a close eye out because they're reckless.

One of you mutts already ran one over (RIP goose). If ever there was a time to drive 15-20km/h under the limit -- as so many of you do anyways -- this would be an agreeable time AND place.

And the goose > your phone.

There seems to be a lot construction happening recently with a bunch of orange tubing laying around. Anyone know what they are doing?
