Markham Centre is on the verge of becoming a world-class, mixed-use urban centre and a key destination place.
For example, construction on Downtown Markham is well underway and features the first transit-pedestrian mall in the GTA with businesses, residences, shops, restaurants, theatres and a 10-acre world-class park for people to enjoy without having to drive to get here.
Viva riders travelling along Highway 7 will be able to make seamless and convenient connections in Markham with GO Transit commuter rail and express buses, YRT local bus services, and the future 407 transitway. Bicycle racks will also be available at vivastations and on Viva vehicles for those who choose to cycle.

You know what angers me the most about all this development (apart from the fact that I don’t get to design anything) is that by the time they’re all complete it’d be useless to me cause I’d be too old!
All the new LRTs and subway extensions would be indispensable to me right now… guess I’m too old.
DaleA: There’s no doubt that an infrastructure deficit has existed for quite some time across Ontario. I understand the challenges that then presents in regards to mobility and efficient transportation. That’s why it’s vital for us to move forward and make things much better for generations to come. The vivaNext projects, especially the Yonge subway extension, will help form that seamless transit network that is so badly needed and now demanded by the public.
Everyone should share their voice – and I thank you for sharing yours!
