SAN FRANCISCO—Mayor Edwin M. Lee recently highlighted progress in the Market and Octavia neighborhood in Hayes Valley along the former Central Freeway right-of-way. In 2014, he says, 30 housing development projects, totaling 1,300 units, were completed, generating nearly $12 million for infrastructure improvements that have in turn helped revitalize the neighborhood.
