Davidson

45 decisions the Board of Supervisors took about Davidson, between 1918 and 2008, read from its own minutes and each linked to the scanned page; most of them in the 1920s; often about land and buildings split up, railroads and spur tracks, parking.

What keeps coming up

  • Land and buildings split up3A lot split in two, or a building divided into flats that sell separately.
  • Railroads and spur tracks2Rail lines run into factories and yards — the industrial city, mostly gone by 1930.
  • Parking2Where you could leave a car, and where you could not.
  • PG&E and the utilities2The gas, electric and water companies, and the city's dealings with them.
  • Sidewalk permits2Steps, planters, ramps and parklets standing on public sidewalk.

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
