If ever there was a Streetwise column that could make readers sit up and say, “Really?” then this is the one.
San Francisco, built on a series of hills, has been laced with tunnels for many, many decades. Some are heavily used, some less frequently, some have completely vanished from the scene and some never made it off the drawing boards.
For our purposes, it is necessary to exclude most sewage tunnels yes, they exist and they are certainly the most common form of tunnel beneath our streets but here, we will focus on those that were designed for legal public access by railroads, vehicles, and/or pedestrians.

Two leaks led to an overnight water outage last week in Cumberland.
Crews began repairs around 10 p.m. Feb 2, and were done by noon the next day. Leaks occured in a field between Main and Carl Streets and along North Broad Street.
Looking Back
Here is a look back to some of the events happening in and around Cumberland in years past:
On Feb. 13, 2011, the Cumberland area was shocked by the announcement that the body of a murder victim had been found along Howell Road. It brought local and regional news crews to the area. There were a lot of questions in residents’ minds at the time. Most of the questions remain unanswered.
