Yup, the new building is on the east and the transit station is on the west. The station location was the choice of the RMOC and has been maintained by the City.

With The Bay occupying the west end of the mall, there really isn't a convenient, direct passage to get to a west end addition. The east end of the mall is currently available.

The City is missing out on a great opportunity with this development: The City needs to make a deal with Ivanhoe Cambridge to allow the new parking structure to be used as a Park & Ride during the day-time on week-days. This way the mall would have the extra parking space during its peak times of evenings, week-ends, and holidays. This area is right near the head of 416 and could gather people from the south and west.

The City is so limited in its thinking.
