The demolition of the entrance and exit of the footbridge forces people to take a long journey into the shopping mall
As early as 2010, before the property development, the then Sha Tin District Councilor Leung Wing-hung, Sha Tin Residents' Rights Association representative Lee Shih-hung and Environmental Touch all questioned the plan to allow the MTR to increase rental income from shopping malls. Subsequently, the government gazetted the demolition project of the north wing of the flyover and collected more than 1,300 objections. All expressed their ignorance of the project before the gazettal and were dissatisfied that the District Council did not consult on the project. However, the government ultimately ignored the appeals of the Sha Tin District Council, local organizations and residents, and gazetted the project in November 2011.

Since the mall opened on December 28, 2022, the pedestrian and bicycle passages at the northern end of the Mei Tin Road and Che Kung Temple Road footbridges, commonly known as the "Octopus Flyover", have been enclosed and demolished. It can only be accessed on the second floor of the shopping mall, forcing citizens to take a detour. The original journey only took about 20 seconds, but now it takes more than a minute. In addition, there are 16 stairs connecting the shopping mall and the overpass, which caused dissatisfaction among residents and demanded its reopening. The pedestrian bridge has its original entrance and exit. The "Shatin Traffic Concern Group", a regional organization, stated that the "Octopus Flyover" was originally covered to connect to the ground, but now it is connected to the shopping mall. Although there is a covered ramp, the ramp is rather circuitous, so most residents choose to walk The stair passage is in the open air, and the escalator connecting the ground and the second floor to the overpass in the mall has been damaged and disabled several times since its opening. Citizens have to queue up to use the two elevators, and are worried that there will be a large number of people during the Lunar New Year. When people go to Che Kung Temple via Tai Wai Station, they may "explode" the shopping mall. However, the MTR Corporation pointed out that in order to cooperate with the development of the overall comprehensive development project, a series of road engineering plans are needed, including pedestrian bridges, which it believes can "optimize the surrounding area." Immediate road and pedestrian network”. The MTR Corporation also pointed out that it had consulted the Shatin District Council as early as 2010 and gazetted it in the same year. The developer also needs to demolish part of the footbridge within the time limit based on the contents of the gazette and the land lease terms.

Lands Department Senior Property Surveyor was asked whether the land lease could be modified to allow the MTR Corporation to not demolish the entrance and exit in accordance with the terms. She said that the modification could be made based on her personal understanding. Many district councilors criticized the 2010 document for not fully explaining the design. At that time, civil society groups collected more than 5,000 signatures to object.
