I think an improved connection would have to be looked at with a new master plan for the mall and also with input from the plans for the surrounding area. The LRT station is beyond hostile to anybody who lives in the area and wants to approach on foot. Surrounded by a sea of parking lots with no pedestrian thoroughfares on all sides. You just have to jaywalk your way through the entire thing and watch out for reverse lights.

Bayshore and Place D'Orleans are the same way. The expectation is that you would arrive by car. While you can easily arrive at any of these malls by public transit.. tough titty for anyone that lives in the neighborhood.

Even with Bayshore renovating their parking garage a few years back there isn't really a proper pedestrian walkway connecting you from the sidewalk to the entrances.

How do we keep making these mistakes over and over again? Why does the world have such a massive dislike for pedestrians and cyclists?
