Bordering the southern edge of the suburb, Monterey Boulevard was divided by a raised concrete foundation to accommodate its sloped positioning.

In 1916-17 the Olmsted Brothers prepared an extension for the residential community of St. Francis Wood (05658). Bordering the southern edge of the suburb, Monterey Boulevard was divided by a raised concrete foundation to accommodate its sloped positioning. The 1917 proposed planting plan showed a series of green medians with deciduous shrubs and flowers (Plan 06485-A-3). A set of building restrictions and clauses were created by the St. Francis Neighborhood Association for the extension to maintain the character and uniformity of the larger community.
