What keeps coming up

  • Sewers8Sewers laid, broken, replaced — and occasionally sinking with the ground.
  • Streets closed for good6Streets the city stopped being a street — vacated for a building or a park.
  • Railroads and spur tracks3Rail lines run into factories and yards — the industrial city, mostly gone by 1930.
  • Protests and appeals2A protest recorded at a hearing, or an appeal against a decision — brought by neighbours and by applicants alike.
  • 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
