Pedestrian Connectivity and Footbridge Linkages
Seamless connection in a simple, direct, easy-to-orient and interesting way that can enhance
pedestrian walkability and circulation will be provided to foster a pedestrian-friendly
environment and promote ‘Walk in Hong Kong’. Two 15 metre-wide elevated landscaped
walkways are to be provided to improve the walking environment connecting the Mong Kok
East Station deck at about 22 metres above Principal Datum and the future development. It
provides alternative choices for pedestrians commuting between the Mong Kok East Station
and other areas of Mong Kok with one directing pedestrians towards Bute Street and the other
to the Mong Kok south area via a proposed footbridge across Argyle Street. A connection point
will be reserved at the proposed footbridge for future connection with the planned footbridge
system along Argyle Street in Mong Kok. Another proposed footbridge will connect the future
development to the existing Mong Kok Road Footbridge at about 13 metres above Principal
Datum, allowing pedestrians commuting between the Mong Kok East Station and the Mong
Kok north area (Figures 12 and 13).
