Nostalgia & History > Cobblestones were better for San Francisco's steepest streets?Date: 09/01/26 11:45 Cobblestones were better for San Francisco's steepest streets? Author: timz Says 1940 -- dunno how long Broderick St stayed open to cars
https://digicoll.lib.berkeley.edu/record/208060?ln=en&v=uv#?xywh=-191%2C-32%2C1916%2C1087 The 275-ft block from Vallejo to Broadway is a 34.5% climb; the east sidewalk is still open, and doesn't have steps like many other SF hills. If Baker St, a block west, was still open, it was just slightly steeper. But Duncan St could claim to be the steepest street in the city, if it still existed -- dunno when they closed the top 50 feet of it, which was well over 40%. https://maps.app.goo.gl/WCDoPkzya34e2fHD9 |
