Borders

On the south side, Markham is bordered by SW Maricara St., and it continues along on straight line until it reaches SW 25th Ave. Heading north, the border turns left onto SW Lancaster Rd and heads north once more. It then turns right onto SW Taylors Ferry Rd, and heads northeast. After an intersection with SW Spring Garden St, it turns westward, until reaching I-5, where it turns left and heads southwest. The border heads due south above SW 35th Ave and continues along it after briefly being on SW 35th Dr. It continues until SW Maricara St.

gollark: These things always take a while to actually be usable. I expect it's a year out.
gollark: The "other ones lasted longer than a year so the estimates are too optimistic" thing ignores the fact that we can develop vaccines now.
gollark: I find running really boring. Also most exercise-y stuff.
gollark: "Everyone should climb" sounds like one of those "I like this so surely everyone does" statements.
gollark: I read a very convincing and well-evidenced reddit post a while ago saying that weightlifting was very good for your health and that sort of thing probably last year, and have done absolutely nothing about it.
