The huge parking lots in front of the "power center" retail just doesn't scream TOD to me. It screams "Only the car is welcome here." Light rail is an afterthought on the back end of the neighborhood...to use light rail to get to that retail area, you have to walk through the whole neighborhood across those dang parking lots.

There's no such thing as transit-oriented development transit. Light rail is, at best, the "servant's entrance" here--it isn't even within the project boundary.
