For the last twelve days of the year, SF YIMBY will look back on each month to reflect on the biggest stories we covered. In July, San Francisco saw the opening of the $118 million Presidio Tunnel Tops park, replacing surface parking and covering up an overpass with 14 acres of landscaped open space. Meanwhile, in the Civic Center and on Treasure Island, crane installation signaled the start of work on two new towers that will contribute to the city’s slow-growing skyline. In San Jose, crews finished the facade installation for the Adobe North Tower.
