Just came east along hoover park from the smart center plaza. came over the bridge towards Sandiford and traffic was backed up almost to the bridge...In one singular lane... The right lane was closed at the intersection due to the paving. Between Sandiford and 9th is down to one lane each direction.

This is a perfect example of where Zipper merging should be used. Both of the lanes should be leveraged all the way up to the lane closure. At which point drivers should alternate "zipper" into the open lane. This minimizes the length of the back up on the road and also creates a standard efficient process whereby there is no confusion, no blocking out, and everyone progresses collectively at a predictable pace.

Of course, due to peer pressure, I did not in fact progress to the front of the right lane, bypassing the long line of cars, for fear of the scorn and judgement. I did however, pay attention to what car was in front of me when I arrived at the line up, and proceeded in the right lane until I arrived at the closure without advancing past other cars. I realize that this would have blocked other cars from properly leveraging the right lane to do a true zipper merge, but I didn't see anyone behind me trying to get it right.

Anyways, this particular example was just so obvious and clear about the function and use of a zipper merge.

Stouffville is the only municipality in York Region that still charges late fines at a library. But that might not be the case for much longer.

I go to GoodLife but want to do classes or maybe boxing. I used to do Orange Theory when I lived in Richmond Hill but it’s too far now.

Saw Spartan, F45, Urban Strength, Functional and Markham CrossFit nearby.

And good/bad experiences at these? Other good options nearby?

Leaning toward Urban for their Hyrox and spin. Like the idea of trying some BJJ too but most of those studios look to be mostly for kids from their websites (I’m in my 30s)

I’m looking for an owner/operated professional cleaning service to clean my house in Stouffville once per month. My house is 2 storeys, approximately 2500 sq ft with 4 bedrooms, 5 bathrooms and a small finished basement. I would prefer to have the same person clean my house on every occasion. Referrals based on excellent past experience would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!

Sorry don't know where to post this. Wanted to thank the person who walked by and gave me advice at the batting cage! It helped a lot and I'm getting way better contact! (It's nice to know that others are always there to help!)

Assuming he is with Reliance based on his shirt. Also assuming he is a tech as he was wearing a Milwaukee backpack. Presumably full of tools. Or murder weapons.

I didn't book any service with them. Also called Reliance and they were not aware of any techs doing service in the area.

Maybe just a wrong address but keep your wits about you just in case

It’s a rbc card with the name derek burton

Hello! Looking for a recommendation on a financial advisor in the area to help with my mom’s finances. She has dementia and is incapable of doing anything to assist. I am POA and we’re at a point where I need to know what to do with all of her investments she has all over the place to start unlocking that money to be used for her care. We want to ensure she is well covered for the rest of her life.

Lovatt expressed gratitude but noted mixed feelings, voicing concerns that an uncontested mayoral race could negatively impact voter turnout for the remaining council and trustee contests.

Two sales people dressed jn Roger's uniforms showed up at my door today, I dont have an account & know they dont go door to door. Very strange & suspicious. I told them not interested through ring. 9th & millard area... anyone notice anything similar ??

I‘m curious if anyone else has noticed cars running the stop signs at this intersection more often than usual?

I‘m only at this intersection a few times a week, but have seen a car run through it like four times in the last month. It’s not an absurd amount, but I can‘t think of another stop sign that is ignored as often as these.

It’s typically from a car heading east on Reeves Way and going straight.

Which one is faster in Stouffville?

Can anyone recommend an OBGYN in the area (Stouffville /Markham) that is currently taking on patients.

Forest Contractors Ltd., York Region's Stouffville Road resurfacing contractor, faces charges after asphalt grindings were dumped in Stouffville without permits or approvals. Investigations into numerous dumpsites are now underway.

Hey folks

Does anyone know where I can dispose of my old engine oil?

ChrisFix says any auto shop will take it but I'm kind of shy... 🥴

The town spent hundreds of thousands of dollars to upgrade the train crossings and the trains are still blowing their whistle, what gives?

Now that the summer is winding down, I’m curious what camps your kids enjoyed the most! I figured I’d ask now while it’s fresh rather than waiting until next year! I have 2 very active kids, a girl 8 and boy 10 so I’d love to hear about the camps your kids enjoyed this year! Please share!
We did the town camps:
Steam, kaleidoscope, ball hockey, hockey, tennis and Pickleball, and entrepreneur camp. All were great. My son loved the hockey camp and my daughter enjoyed the entrepreneur camp.
