"Assemblyman Marc Levine, D-San Rafael, said this week he will take up the cause of a Change.org petition that has garnered more than 55,000 signatures since Williams’ apparent suicide at his Tiburon home Aug. 11. Levine plans to introduce a resolution to rename the Highway 101 tunnel north of the Golden Gate Bridge after the beloved comedian and performer.
“When the petition was first circulated, I thought it sounded like a wonderful idea,” Levine said. “It was as though Robin Williams knew us. He knew how to make us all laugh, and for so many of us as fans over the decades, we have spent so much time with him. And in Marin especially, we had a very special relationship with him.”" (visit link)
