My area's mall is pretty nice and like most malls it's got plenty of area to walk, stores to explore, enough security to deter people from doing anything too crazy. It's a great spot for middle school and high school kids! But if you don't have a car how do you even get there?
There's suburbs all around so it should be in easy biking distance and moderate walking distance. But it's surrounded by 4 lane roads without a single crosswalk or even sidewalks. Busses don't run there either.
So thanks to decades of car only design best non motorized way to get there is to take a kayak....yes a kayak.....and use a creek to get to the area behind the mall and walk in from there. I only know that because my parents did it once to see if it could be done.
