In 1901 a precise plan for the construction of the following four lines was published: The public tender for the construction began in 1903, the original plans underwent multiple changes and were ultimately rejected by the Governorate-General in Warsaw or the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Empire.

In 1908, multiple plans were proposed, one of them was also quickly rejected due to using outdated horse-drawn trams.

As a part of the plan, Ssudowagon wanted to receive land in the city necessary for the construction for 40 years.
