With more traffic lights you will have more breaks. I also suspect that the left turn cutouts will be at a signalized intersections where turns will get a left turn arrow. Subject to check, I believe the only developer who dealt with the poles was Terrapin Station who ran the wires behind the building.

Alternately, each new big project could be required to pay for undergrounding for its street front and for that of one-eighth of a mile in each direction.
