California lawmakers on Thursday voted to approve a toll that would require drivers to fork over money in order to drive down San Francisco's famed Lombard Street.
Leaders behind the effort hope the toll charge would reduce congestion at the popular tourist attraction in the Russian Hill neighborhood. The bill will now head to Senate for consideration.
State Assembly Bill 1065 would require motorists reserve a spot and pay a toll before driving down the street, according to the Office of Assemblyman Phil Ting, D-San Francisco.
It would authorize the city to start implementing the pricing and reservation program at the iconic street, which, according to Ting, attracts more than two million visitors annually.
