  • Paving and grading4Cutting streets to their official level and surfacing them.
  • Streets closed for good3Streets the city stopped being a street — vacated for a building or a park.
  • Sewers2Sewers laid, broken, replaced — and occasionally sinking with the ground.

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
