Advantage of a downtown arena of course is encouraging people to eat out at restaurants and take on other nearby activities before and after games, thus reducing the influx of riders on the transit system and vehicular traffic.

220m to two different stations and access to two rapid transit lines is more than enough. The current parking situation has people walking as far as 625m to get to the front door using the covered walkway and pedestrian paths. I have no concerns with the access to transit in the current plan but would love to see at least partially covered access to one or both the stations.
