Robin Williams tunnel

California Assembly votes unanimously to rename famed tunnel after Robin Williams

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.
