In an attempt to straighten-out traffic along San Francisco’s most “crooked street,” Assemblyman Phil Ting, D-San Francisco, is proposing legislation that would allow San Francisco to charge drivers for making a trip down Lombard Street.
In addition to a fee, the legislation would also establish a reservation program, meaning drivers would have to reserve spots in advance to go down the famously crooked part, between Hyde and Leavenworth streets, according to Ting’s office.
In addition to easing congestion in the area, the proposed program would also bring relief to residents living near the busy tourist attraction.
Ting is expected to announce more details about the legislation on Monday.
