Gov. Newsom vetoes toll, reservation bill for ‘crooked’ Lombard Street in S.F.

Gov. Gavin Newsom announced Oct. 12  that he vetoed a bill that would have required drivers to reserve a spot in advance and pay a toll before going down San Francisco’s most crooked street.

Assembly Bill 1605, the “Crooked Street Reservation and Pricing Program,” aimed to curb traffic and congestion along the iconic Lombard Street, which attracts some 2 million tourists per year.
