There's an ongoing attempt to name a bridge after the emperor https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Emperor_Norton_Trust#%22Emperor_Norton_Bridge%22_advocacy,_2013%E2%80%93present
Why not? Pete Seeger immortalized the boxes in a song https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Little_Boxes , so renaming a bridge seems reasonable to me (and, yes, this a non sequitur but so is San Francisco)
