There is a slight glimmer of hope, as Les Promenades is undergoing a renovation and expansion, and the mall is going to be expanded towards the boulevard that you see (notably with the addition of a Maison Simons store), and so that should eat up at least some of the sea of parking that you have to cross to get from the station to the mall.

It's supposed to look something like this:

I use to think the tunnel would have been a better spot for the station as it would have covered the platform, but looking at it from this angle, I agree this is a slightly better location. Nice to see they'll have a proper pedestrian laneway between Maloney and Les Promenades.
