San Francisco eyes charge to drive its famed Lombard Street
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Thousands of tourists could soon have to pay as much as $10 to drive down world-famous Lombard Street in San Francisco.
City and state officials on Monday announced a bill that would give San Francisco the authority to establish a toll and reservation system for the street that winds down a steep hill, in an effort to reduce crowds and traffic congestion.
=====================================
This scenic artifact of the 1906 earthquake may soon become a reservation-only, pay-as-you-go amusement park instead of an overcrowded street littered with trash & goggle-eyed tourists. At least I can say that I've been down it once. Lots of odd lore about the '06 quake in SF.
