Excerpt from Report of the Bureau of Engineering of the Department of Public Works, City and County of San Francisco: Fiscal Year Ending June 30, 1927 I herewith transmit the annual report of the Bureau of Engineering for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1927. One of the notable features of the work of this Department in the latter half of 1926 and the first six months of 1927 was the starting of construction on the Sunset (duboce) Tunnel. The Buhoce Tunnel, as it is generally called, will serve the northern part of the Sunset District and the westerly slope of the Ashbury Heights District - furnishing a low grade transportation route to the upper end of Market Street. Work on the tunnel progressed satisfactorily during the year and at this date, the tunnel is completed and ready for the installation of rails. A contract was awarded and construction started on the laying of tracks through the tunnel and along the proposed route of the railway through the Sun set District to the Great Highway but has been halted by an injunction against the construction, secured by adverse interests in the name of a citizen.
