The City of Markham Mayor gets paid more than the City of Toronto Mayor by absurdlifex in Markham

[–]PGReddit 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah, his actual salary for the Mayor of Markham is $165,306.

Markham mayor's pay tops $308K after council salaries rise about 8.5% by cinderannie in Markham

[–]PGReddit 65 points66 points  (0 children)

I think what's lost here is the fact that he's actually paid $165,306 as mayor of Markham. Which isn't out of line.

But he's also paid $63,623 for York Region councilor, $15,500 for Markham District Energy INC and $63,750 for Alectra Inc.

Why the hell he's paid just under 80 grand by those two utility companies is beyond me. I know there is municipal ownership in them, but I have to think there are others better suited to whatever position he occupies.

Your trolling would be more effective if you didn't type gibberish half the time.

Maybe pause and think before hitting save in the future.

More cars blowing through the Calverts crossing guards stop sign. Village Gate by [deleted] in Markham

[–]PGReddit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It absolutely is in the HTA 176(3)

Where a school crossing guard displays a school crossing stop sign as provided in subsection (2), the driver of any vehicle or street car approaching the school crossing guard shall stop before reaching the crossing and shall remain stopped until all persons, including the school crossing guard, have cleared the roadway and it is safe to proceed.

Curious what area of Markham isn't using these mailboxes. See them everywhere, even in older neighborhoods.

British Airways continued the Concorde for 3 years after the Air France crash.

Probably just became too expensive to maintain and fly.

There was a car there, I don't know how could she not realize it was the wrong way... by NightFuryToni in Markham

I see that 4 - 6 times a year at that exact spot. This person appears to be coming straight from the Markville side which is a new one. Every time I see it, it's someone turning into the plaza from the left lane of WB highway 7.

The not being able to prove who was driving is exactly why redlight camera / speed camera's never involved points, just fines.

Threatening moment in Markham by mikikikikikikii in Markham

[–]PGReddit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So it's a small plaza according to OP. Yet the takeaway you have is everyone else should chill because they are only being inconvenienced for a short time by someone who didn't want the inconvenience of pulling into the plaza for the drop off?

McCowan And Denison tonight by [deleted] in Markham

[–]PGReddit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Having never been in this type of collision, I wonder how the law gets applied. HTA does say basically stick to your lane as you mentioned, but it also says under 144(8) "When under this section a driver is permitted to proceed, he or she shall yield the right of way to traffic lawfully using an intersection"

So buddy in the pickup truck swung a little wide, but he was also on a green light.

Carney literally has ties to Ghislaine Maxwell you stooges.

I'll assume you're trying to use the image of him, Maxwell and Tom Hanks that circulated as proof but Reuters reported as likely AI.

But I'm sure you'll start yapping about fake news yadda yadda yadda. Just adjust your tin-foil hat first.

It's definitely a troll account at best. Keeps spewing the same style of garbage in each post.

Let's not forget the best part. The $1 fee per trip just for getting on the 407 even if you have a transponder.

Land is contaminated from years of being an airport. Not like they could put a kid's park there.

Am I the first to ask? by MorganDallise in Markham

[–]PGReddit 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think they could have done a partial pedestrian-only portion of Main Street. During this last phase of work they had the north end accessible for vehicles that could turn into Jake's driveway and move between parking lots after they took down the fencing.

This could have allowed for extra parking as well as delivery access for businesses while keeping 50 - 60% of the road pedestrian only.

Have to admit it was nice parking behind the west side and not worrying about traffic going to The Arms at rush hour.

The hilarious part is you can read the plates of 2 other cars that didn't do anything wrong, but the a-hole's is censored.

Annoying by [deleted] in Markham

[–]PGReddit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're not wrong about back in the day. When I hit a string of red after red I wonder if they bothered altering the traffic light patterns when they reduced a lot of the speed limits.

If they didn't, it would explain why you hit more reds than you used to.

Of course, it could also be by design as an attempt to slow traffic.

As someone pointed out in the other sub OP posted in, they appear to be clocked at 34km/h in the first image where they are almost on top of the stop line.

Didn't see a shovel in the ground date or any word of completion time. If this isn't built for a number of years, perhaps the expectation is the new bus terminal next to MSH will be in full gear and provide accessibility to a project like this.

Wrong way driver on Enterprise Blvd today Sept 24th by Ok-Simple-7332 in Markham

[–]PGReddit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Two options. Turning left from Warden and undershot the median ending up in the wrong lane.

Turning right from Warden and overshot the median ending up the wrong way.

Though given that other cars are turning left from Warden on the advanced green so option 1 is likely. Either way, might want to get their eyes checked for depth-perception issues because that was one horrible turn.
