Not that it makes a huge difference, but when I use Google Maps to measure the distance from the Assembly T station to Wynn's property, I get 1100 feet, not 500.

500 feet might be just the distance over water, but you also have to walk through Draw Seven Park. (And add an east entrance to Assembly station, which it doesn't currently have.)
