Sai Yeung Choi Street

In the 1970s, some buildings on Sai Yeung Choi Street were demolished to make way for construction of the Mass Transit Railway.

[3] Sai Yeung Choi Street has been the site of several criminal acts of objects and fluids being thrown from buildings.

The police increased the award for information leading to an arrest, while the Yau Tsim Mong District Council installed a CCTV system to help catch the perpetrator.

[5] On 10 June 2014, a pedestrian was killed on Sai Yeung Choi Street after being hit by a swivel chair thrown from a rooftop by a mentally-ill Mainland Chinese who had been drinking.

[6] Sai Yeung Choi Street was a frequent site of demonstrations during the protracted 2014 Hong Kong protests.

However, the Traffic and Transport Committee of the Yau Tsim Mong District Council voted on 21 November 2013 to restrict the pedestrianisation to weekends and public holidays only, citing complaints from local residents.

[13][14] In response to pressure from residents and businesses, the Yau Tsim Mong District Council voted in May 2018 to temporarily suspend the pedestrianisation scheme,[13] and the pedestrian zone ceased to exist at 10pm on 29 July 2018.
