Beyond this building and the linked remaining half of the mall, I don't really see anything in the plan that facilitates walking to and from the LRT station from the outside. I would have expected a stronger pedestrian-priority axis out to Ogilvie towards CSIS/CSEC.
I was out biking there to check out the new MUP along Ogilvie from Montreal Road to Blair and the plan does seem to continue it but falls short of creating better links other than the long route around the side via Blair. So while this is being touted as an example of "TOD" it remains a very car-centric plan where pedestrians are still dodging cars and wading through a sea of parking lots and blank facades even just to get to the adjacent apartment towers being built.
