CA State Sen. Scott Wiener Introduces Naming Resolution "Relative to the Emperor Norton Tunnel"
Hey, there.
Big news!
Yesterday, California State Senator Scott Wiener introduced Senate Concurrent Resolution (SCR) 193 that would designate the San Francisco Bay Bridge tunnel through Yerba Buena Island as the "Emperor Norton Tunnel."
The resolution was introduced with Assemblymember Catherine Stefani as co-author.
The Emperor Norton Trust is the citizen sponsor.
You can read the text of the resolution and follow its progress on the legislature's website here.
If you live in California, your state Senator and Assemblyperson need to hear from you ASAP urging them to support and co-author SCR 193 — and to shepherd this timely resolution to passage by the end of the session on August 31, so as to cue up the "Emperor Norton Tunnel" tribute for the 90th anniversary of the San Francisco–Oakland Bay Bridge and its tunnel this coming November.
You'll find letter-writing resources in our Action Guide here.
It's going to be quite a dash to get this done in exactly 4 weeks from introduction.
We need every Emperor-saluting voice in California pushing to make this generations-long dream a reality.
Please join us!
And thank you, Senator Wiener!
