A couple years back a sign memorializing the Emperor Norton Memorial Bridge was placed at the onramp around 5th and Bryant in San Francisco. Unfortunately it was taken down fairly quickly.
(The history is, some wag called the Bay Bridge the Willie L Brown Jr. Bridge, for some reason people started calling it that, and others who don't know any better perpetuate it. But real San Franciscans know it was and will always be Emperor Norton's bridge, and occasionally reminders of that fact go up.)
