Hi Google Maps.
I am really impressed and very dissuaded by the routes google maps led me on, so first I will start with the positive and the work into a few issues i believe that google maps needs to be addressed. Google maps helped me tremendously to get from Kelowna, BC to Tsawwassen mills mall, first it took me on the fastest freeway second it then helped me bypass the busy areas and around construction and bravely traffic areas. it then led me around and under several of the bridges and straight to the spot that I needed to go. Very happy with the planning with that part of my journey. I was needing to get from Tsawwassen Ferry terminal in Delta, BC to my home in Kelowna, BC, I had just purchased a new French Bulldog Puppy from a respectable Breeder, they even brought the puppy over the ocean on the ferry to Tsawwassen form Victoria. The car I was driving was an old chev neon and the air I dituoner was not working, when I left it was about 11:30am PST, google maps then proceeded totaled me to the CANADA/USA border crossing, I was lucky that I was paying attention to the signage and realized that I was heading into a multi lane lineup to cross over into the USA, which I was not prepared to do as I donot have a passport, a direction that was not where I wanted to go, so I was lucky to have seen a side street and was able to turn around and head back the way I came. This was a little confusing to say the least but being an optimist I tried google maps again, starting at my GPS location and imputing Kelowna BC again as my destination, believing that it was just a little glitch, to my shegrin though google maps was going to take me back to the border crossing I had just left, so I drove a couple of blocks away and tried it a third time and again it wanted to send me through the border into the USA. At this point I just looked at the map to get my bearings and then using the old noggin on my shoulders decided to head to HWY 1 the Trans Canada HWY, thatâs when I ran into serious traffic and it took me around two hours to leave the area as I ended up in heavy traffic and construction. It was Hot 32âC, I had no air conditioning in this vehicle and was traveling with a 12 week old Puppy a Frenchy and they are not adapted to sever heat. I would have been able to miss most of the rush hour traffic had google maps not lead me a half an hour out of my way which costed me an hour round trip and in the end two more hours dealing with traffic and construction After we drove out of the lower mainland area around Chilliwack BC then the road opened up and even though it was busy we were able to maintain the speed limit until we reached Home. I would really appreciate that if in the future google maps would not send anyone to cross borders if their destination does not change countries. Thank you. Very much. The Rasmuson clan.

A plan for the re-development of Tsawwassen Town Centre Mall was presented to the community by Century Group in April 2019. The plan envisions transforming the property in character, form and scale from a sea of suburban parking lots with buildings in them to a walkable scale, mixed-use urban village where people can shop, live and gather socially. A combination of low-rise and mid-rise buildings would be organized around a network of walkable streets and public open spaces, including a civic square, making the Tsawwassen Town Centre a place worth walking to. A new and expanded Tsawwassen community library would be developed by Century Group and it would become the communityâs...

Has a large selection of different popular stores and has very large aisles, so even when it's really busy, it never seems overly crowded. The only downside is that there is a great amount of walking as the only split from one side to the other is the food court, a halfway point. They rent large moving animals or other animated type scooter things to get around. I think, meant mainly for children, but lately, I see a fair number of adults using them. There is a large food court, with a great variety of different types of...
