What keeps coming up

  • Railroads and spur tracks14Rail lines run into factories and yards — the industrial city, mostly gone by 1930.
  • Parking14Where you could leave a car, and where you could not.
  • Environmental review7Nothing before the 1970s, then permanent: the review law arriving and staying.
  • Blasting permits3Permission to set off explosives at a named place — street cuts, foundations, tunnels — revocable and usually time-limited.
  • Land and buildings split up3A lot split in two, or a building divided into flats that sell separately.
  • Sidewalk permits3Steps, 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
