This would be your walk from the transit station along the backside of the mall to the overpass.
This sidewalk is 30" wide (yes I happened to have a measuring tape) To the left is an expansion for the Royal Bank. There isn't much room to push over to the right either as the busway dips down for the underpass.
Raised curbs here on all sides ??? Get it together St.Laurent!

This was part of my commute during LRT construction. Sucked.

But I think a valid question again becomes who pays for this, the city or the mall? The mall doesn't have much incentive to do so...

I live in this area and will turn into Lemieux as a shortcut, cutting through the Holiday Inn lot sometimes. And I will be the first to say that it's not strictly necessary. And is kind of dangerous with high speed traffic coming off the Queensway.
The best thing they could do is just demolish the road to the back of the mall and turn Lemieux into a one way street. Connection to the mall should strictly me a pedestrian/cyclist bridge.
