Georgia

46 decisions the Board of Supervisors took about Georgia, between 1908 and 2003, read from its own minutes and each linked to the scanned page; most of them in the 1920s; often about railroads and spur tracks, pg&e and the utilities, blasting permits.

What keeps coming up

  • Railroads and spur tracks11Rail lines run into factories and yards — the industrial city, mostly gone by 1930.
  • PG&E and the utilities10The gas, electric and water companies, and the city's dealings with them.
  • Blasting permits6Permission to set off explosives at a named place — street cuts, foundations, tunnels — revocable and usually time-limited.
  • Streets closed for good4Streets the city stopped being a street — vacated for a building or a park.
  • Protests and appeals3A protest recorded at a hearing, or an appeal against a decision — brought by neighbours and by applicants alike.
  • Environmental review3Nothing 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
