What keeps coming up

SewersSewers laid, broken, replaced — and occasionally sinking with the ground.8
Streets closed for goodStreets the city stopped being a street — vacated for a building or a park.6
Railroads and spur tracksRail lines run into factories and yards — the industrial city, mostly gone by 1930.3
FreewaysThe freeways, from the land bought for them to the fights about them.2
Protests and appealsA protest recorded at a hearing, or an appeal against a decision — brought by neighbours and by applicants alike.2
Environmental reviewNothing before the 1970s, then permanent: the review law arriving and staying.2

Every decision the record places on this street is here. Every line is written from one item in the minutes of the San Francisco Board of Supervisors, the city council, and links to the page it was printed on at the Internet Archive or in the Clerk's own files. Many of the Board's decisions name no street at all, and only the ones that do can be placed here. How the record was read · The whole city
