The Businesses On Davis Drive in Newmarket Need Your Support

An Open Letter to the Town of Newmarket:


Dear Newmarket Residents,

It's been a while for many of you since you last stopped by one of the many shops located along Davis Drive.  In the interim, some of our neighbouring business have been forced to move away or to shut their doors for good.  Decent, hardworking neighbours of yours have lost their jobs and in some cases, their livelihoods. 

Yes, there is construction along Davis Drive and there can be delays when driving along this corridor. 

But many of us local business owners are still here and we need your support.  We are still providing the same great services and/or merchandise that we have in the past.  Please be patient with the traffic and come in and see us again. 

We could really use your help. 

I have heard many people complain that they don't understand why the Mayor and Regional Councillor are so gung-ho about these damn-forsaken dedicated bus lanes. 

The way I see it, if things don't improve soon, these bus lanes will be the financial ruin of many local businesses.  We have already seen businesses with a long storied history in the town, like Persechinni's Gym, forced to close down because of bungling at York Regional council.  By the time the construction is completed, there won't be any reason for anyone to travel along the bus route because all the businesses will be closed. 

The Davis corridor will be a ghost town. 

If you don't want to see that happen then please patronize your favourite businesses along Davis Drive as you have in the past.  We need your support now - more than ever. 

Thank you.
