from my untrained eyes, usually a good circulation involves multiple ring roads around the mall.
MV is a very good example. plenty of highways weaving in and out top and bottom. plenty of entrance and exit points.
empire city is supposedly being model close to MV concept in terms of circulation.
sterling mall @ DU is another good example. similiar to klcc where you get access to the car park straight from a major highway. eg. akleh to klcc, ldp to sterling.
not only that, a good mall must design to cater to potential long queues incoming and outgoing.
paradigm mall did an astounding good job in their access too. i would have thought it would failed miserably with the jams at ldp too. but they did a great job at the basement linkages to opposite the road and also circle ring road both elevated and bottom.
as for tropicana gardens, i have no idea. but reckon it is a bit tough as they are restricted by the golf course behind and the mrt in front. tunneling works are limited.
I agree with you. Somehow, I just don't think TG's access roads cam make it into a very vibrant mall. Surviving, yes but thriving, hard to say. The plus point is definitely the MRT but bear in mind this MRT is very near the depot already. Not many quality shoppers from Sg Buloh side and dun expect too many shoppers taking MRT from city side to this mall. Main determinant is still access roads and I think TG is just not central enough to make it big. No hard feelings but my 2 cents.MV is a very good example. plenty of highways weaving in and out top and bottom. plenty of entrance and exit points.
