Downtown Markham is an environmentally sustainable community.

We support transit use; we offer alternatives for daily commuting; we preserve the environment and plan for an improved quality of life for present and future generations.

Downtown Markham is underpinned by these goals and principles.

Visitors will experience the value and wisdom of environmentally sustainable development in Downtown Markham in the form of generous parks and open spaces, inviting links to the nearby Rouge River valley, convenient public transit, safe pedestrian and bicycle environments, and the ability to live, work, shop and play without reliance upon a car.
