What keeps coming up

  • Freeways22The freeways, from the land bought for them to the fights about them.
  • Parking7Where you could leave a car, and where you could not.
  • Permission to open something5A shop, a clinic, a wrecking yard, a dispensary: uses that needed asking for.
  • 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
