Anza, Balboa and Cabrillo. In the Sunset District, these streets are: Hugo, Irving, Judah,<br />

Kirkham, Lawton, Moraga, Noriega, Ortega, Pacheco, Quintara, Rivera, <strong>San</strong>tiago,<br />

Gate Park, and Lincoln Way on the south, taking the place of the streets which would<br />

otherwise have begun with "D" and "G" respectively, with "E" and "F"" being preempted<br />

by Golden Gate Park and "X" and "Z" being omitted).<br />
