Are you sure about that? I recall taking the bus downtown on occasion to go to Portage Place as a kid, and even though most storefronts had doors to Portage Ave, almost none were accessible. This is 1988-89, a year removed from when the mall opened.
It would be great if Portage Place was like this, as it was designed for pedestrians on Portage Avenue to access the stores, but with shoplifting and what not, I am doubtful this will ever occur.
