Thousands of tourists could soon be forced to make reservations and pay to drive the famed crooked Lombard Street in San Francisco.
California lawmakers approved a bill Thursday granting San Francisco the power to establish a toll and reservation system for Lombard Street. The bill still needs Gov. Gavin Newsom's signature.
The San Francisco County Transportation Authority has recommended $5 per car weekdays and $10 weekends and holidays. Residents say the scenic street has become more like an overcrowded amusement park than a neighborhood street.Tourism officials estimate that 6,000 people daily visit the 600-foot-long street in the summer, creating lines of cars stretching for blocks.
