Shops demolished for Okubo Street Widening

Several shops and restaurant facing to the Kagurazaka-Ue crossing have mostly been demolished. More demolishing is planned (shown in yellow).　The widened space should be used for pedestrians, not for through traffic. The community is worried about divided by the wide road with more through traffic.

Before demolished, there were two shops and a restaurant facing to the crossing.

Now the shops are gone.

The street will be widened to 30 meters, even though traffic volume is decreasing.
