During the period from the inauguration of the Tokyo Reconstruction Project to the end of World War II, all done by the project was the efforts to decrease the number of electric poles on Otsuka Roads by putting some overhead cables together on common poles. Among many plans, the Tokyo Health Road Plan and the Tokyo Postwar Reconstruction Plan were prominent. The former aimed to remove poles and billboard, building pedestrian-dedicated roads with an affluence of greenery. The latter attempted to remove electric poles from roads which are wider than 36m. Some cables still remained over head were moved to alleyways behind detouring around the roads. Further, the plan was proposing to include the common ducts and poles in the category of urban planning. The plan specified the areas from which electric poles were removed to provide educational and public space for scenic view. However, these plans were not fulfilled due to the reduction of the scale in Postwar Reconstruction Land Readjustment Project.
