Where's Waldo?

There is a popular proposal to rename the Waldo Tunnel, just north of the Golden Gate Bridge, after Robin Williams, who lived nearby in Tiburon.  At first, makes some sense.  Many people, myself included, loved Robin Williams, why not name something after him?

Here's a view as you leave the tunnel southbound:



Anybody sensing a "BUT. BUT..." coming???

Robin Williams was a famous and wonderful actor who died of an apparent suicide.  The tunnel is close to the Golden Gate Bridge, which is the second most used suicide site in the world.  Any chance that the close proximity of the two will "inspire" even more suicides?

Sorry, this is a really bad idea.
