==Infrastructure== === Transportation === Newmarket is connected to Toronto by [[Controlled-access highway|highways]]. It is served by two [[interchange (road)|interchanges]] (Davis Drive, as well as Vivian Road / Mulock Drive) along [[Ontario Highway 404|Highway 404]] and connected to [[Ontario Highway 400|Highway 400]] via [[Ontario Highway 9|Highway 9]]. [[File:Newmarket Bus Terminal 001.JPG|thumb|GO Transit bus station in Newmarket]] Local public transit is provided by [[York Region Transit]], which operates the [[Viva Blue]] [[bus rapid transit]] route from the [[Newmarket Bus Terminal]] to the [[Finch Bus Terminal]] in Toronto. YRT/VIVA has built the [[Davis Drive Rapidway]] along Davis Drive between Yonge Street and [[Southlake Regional Health Centre]], with fully separated bus only lanes and centre street station platforms for their [[Viva Yellow]] service. The bus travels in mixed traffic between [[Southlake Regional Health Centre]] and [[Highway 404]]. The project was completed on November 29, 2015.<ref name=project_map>{{cite web |url=http://www.vivanext.com/project-map/ |title=Project Map |work=vivanext |publisher=York Region Rapid Transit Corporation |quote= Rapidway Construction (2011-2015) |access-date=January 15, 2015}}</ref> Commuter rail is provided by [[GO Transit]] through the [[Newmarket GO Station]] with service south to Toronto and north to Barrie, with five trains each direction during rush hour. Regular bus service is also operated by [[GO Transit]], with service operating between 5am and 2am. The town has many trails, the most useful of which is the Tom Taylor, which extends from the border of Aurora on St. John's side-road all the way north through downtown and down into Holland Landing in the Town of East Gwillimbury. ===Library=== Located in the historic Downtown area, the [[Newmarket Public Library (Newmarket, Ontario)|Newmarket Public Library]] provides residents with free access to 175,000 items, including books, audio books, magazines, multilingual materials, DVDs, CDs, video games, e-books and online databases. The library also runs the York Info service, which provides information about local organizations, groups and services, and helps develop a stronger volunteer presence in the community by connecting people who would like to volunteer with non-profit agencies looking for assistance. The library also produces a quarterly newsletter called "Off the Shelf" to inform patrons of its programs, services and events. The library is a founding member of the Shared Digital Infrastructure project, an initiative to plan for an Intelligent Community in Newmarket.
