What keeps coming up

  • Paving and grading5Cutting streets to their official level and surfacing them.
  • Streets closed for good5Streets the city stopped being a street — vacated for a building or a park.
  • Sewers3Sewers laid, broken, replaced — and occasionally sinking with the ground.
  • Blasting permits2Permission to set off explosives at a named place — street cuts, foundations, tunnels — revocable and usually time-limited.
  • Railroads and spur tracks2Rail lines run into factories and yards — the industrial city, mostly gone by 1930.
  • Environmental review2Nothing before the 1970s, then permanent: the review law arriving and staying.

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
