Rename the Bay Bridge after Emperor Norton

The Issue

We need to rename the Bridge connecting Oakland and San Francisco After its Originator Emperor Norton. Emperor Norton was America's self proclaimed Emperor. He lived in San Francisco During the 1800's and came up with many revolutionary acts such as ending anti Chinese rally's in San Francisco. He also established his own currency called "Norton Bucks, these were widely accepted in the Bay Area and there are still some around today. Arguably the most affect he had was revolutionary ideas such as an international peace group and the extremely important and useful bridge and transit tunnel connecting San Francisco and Oakland. Finally he instituted the policy of All people who call San Francisco "Frisco" shall be fined 200$.
