Crossing the road to get to Churchgate station from the other side of the footpath has suddenly become problematic for pedestrians, as the only small gap (as part of the central concrete divider was broken) in the barrier has now been filled up. The divider will eventually have plants in it and serve as a permanent barrier. While younger people have been jumping and hopping over the barricade, the older people and senior citizens are forced to take a detour of a few metres.

Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) officials said that Maharshi Karve Road was never meant for crossing, and there are subways at the Eros and Marines Lines ends for people to cross. Hordes of citizens crossing the road also slow down moving traffic, officials said.
