There will NEVER be a scramble intersection there, and even if someone at city hall lost their marbles and tried for one the largest landowners in the area would force a stop to it (just look at what Brentwoods and Solos main selling points
are in their marketing brochures, yes, the highway, Lougheed and Willigdon, with the skytrain station being a secondary selling point. This intersection is too important for the movement of CARS and the people they carry.

While there will be access to Brentwood Station from Brentwood Mall, there won't be any from Solo Distract. Furthermore, there will likely be quite a few people wanting to cross between the two sites. When there are a large number of pedestrians and vehicles present, a scramble crossing can be a good solution as it would restrict pedestrians from crossing while vehicles are turning.
