Gov. Gavin Newsom vetoed a bill on Saturday that would have allowed the city to test a fee and reservation system for the famous street.Newsom said he is concerned a pricing program would create “social equity issues” and he wants to keep the street accessible to people, regardless of their ability to pay.
The city’s transportation department had recommended $5 per car weekdays and $10 on weekends and holidays to address residents’ complaints of gridlock, noise and litter from tourists.
Tourism officials estimate that 6,000 people daily visit the 600-foot-long street in the summer, creating lines of cars stretching for blocks.
