Subject: Huntington trail bridge over German Mills Creek

David,

I am not sure if you are the right person to email about this. If not, please forward this message.

I am Markham resident and avid bicyclist. My family also ride with me sometimes and we like to hike in local Markham parks. I can’t help but notice the bridge on Huntington trail over German Mills Creek was closed for years now. People go around it outside of the fence and risking of falling into the water. The gates are locked, but this is a minor annoyance for dog walkers or bikers. There is still traffic over the bridge.

Over last few years city of Markham replace most (if not all) children playgrounds, which were completely OK by my standards. Money were spent. However, this bridge still being neglected.

Can you or someone who is in charge let me know or post a sign on the closed bridge fence what is the plan to restore it? Renovating the bridge would bring great value to the Huntington trail.

Thanks,
Konstantin Martynov.
