Markham-area residents have been rallying against a proposed development plan there.
“the traffic will be 10 times worse”
“lack of new schools and daycare facilities”
“the absence of a healthcare expansion plan could lead to longer wait times”
“...it would take a war time scale effort...”
Well, duh!

Note that ^ ^ ^ the above URL is stored and marked up funny - eg. what's with the big long ‘article_cb86f1e1-86d9-5a31-b2e7-a7bc0c22f06b’ serial code. It could have something to do with the publishers trying to hang on to, or just further track, their content. The Toronto Star started doing similar stuff just before 600+ people were eliminated at Metroland Corp. last week.
You may have an easier go of the ruckus over the secondary plan — which Cadillac Fairview apparently wants to modify, big time profits here, BIG time! — at https://yourvoicemarkham.ca/markvillesecondaryplanstudy (https://yourvoicemarkham.ca/markvillesecondaryplanstudy)
I think Markville is a poor choice for a name, eg. it's too similar to Markdale which is northwest of here, past Shelburne.
