Nice one Cinderpath times two.
I also wonder how some folks relate to transit on this thread and am seeing a pattern of cluelessness. What is the big deal with installing a rail station and a bus node at or near a shopping mall? I guess it has to do with the habits of people in Detroit metro who havent had to use transit ever. I mean, it is a common thing to have a station or terminus or turnabout near a large commercial outlet. This is what a transit system is able to solve; bus routes radiating from the rail station is standard issue, nothing to write home about for christmas.
On the other hand, I also hear that this station would be in the middle of nowhere, not near industrial jobs in the area. This indicates that people who use cars wont use transit because nothing will ever be close enough to please them. It is a lot like driving for half an hour round the parking lot until you find a spot near enough the entrance to the mall.
