I also seriously doubt the driving times you have shown as well.

What many people are getting at is this- as the mall expands it gets harder to get in and out of. When there used to be a Safeway on the south side there was ample parking there, and a quick access from Glemore westbound. Now that is gone. Possible expansion may also remove other quick access points to the mall; making it no longer a matter of going there for one or two items.

Depends on the time of the day, but he/she is right. I can actually leave my home and be at chinook in 10-15 minutes, now if there is traffic it may take a little longer. Its actually funny it all depends on which way the traffic lights are working. I can acutally make it to work driving downtown in 25 minutes from Evergreen at 7 AM. Now coming home is a totally different situation.

But it takes a little longer than 5 minutes by train (it is probably equivalent to driving)
