A sweet gesture from the California Assembly:
The California Assembly on Thursday unanimously approved a bill to rename the Waldo Tunnel after late comedian Robin Williams.
The Waldo Tunnel is a tunnel on U.S. 101 between the Golden Gate Bridge and Sausalito in Marin County. William Waldo was a California politician who ran unsuccessfully for governor in 1853. The tunnel’s archways are painted in rainbow colors, which is why people sometimes call it the "rainbow tunnel."
Williams was a long time resident of Marin. The idea to rename the tunnel started with an online petition that received more than 60,000 signatures.
Williams spent part of his childhood in the Bay Area and moved to Marin County in the mid-1970s, where he remained until his death.
