Bay View

53 decisions the Board of Supervisors took about Bay View, between 1908 and 1959, read from its own minutes and each linked to the scanned page; most of them in the 1950s; often about permission to open something, protests and appeals, sewers.

What keeps coming up

  • Permission to open something21A shop, a clinic, a wrecking yard, a dispensary: uses that needed asking for.
  • Protests and appeals7A protest recorded at a hearing, or an appeal against a decision — brought by neighbours and by applicants alike.
  • Sewers3Sewers laid, broken, replaced — and occasionally sinking with the ground.
  • Railroads and spur tracks2Rail lines run into factories and yards — the industrial city, mostly gone by 1930.

The most notable decisions

Where this comes from

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
