Street Sign Typo: Merser Street

This was fixed yesterday (4/14/08).

you know the guy who did this was a darkie.

Is it the sign guy's fault or the guy who wrote out the work order? Because somewhere there's a piece of DOT paper with a request for a new sign to be fabricated and it has the name of the street written on it. This stuff doesn't happen verbally.

bunches of morons running around

Saw "42rd St" while they were replacing the signs a few years back. I went back the next day for a pic, and it was already changed.

I hear they've change a nearby street to Prinze St., in honor of comic actor Freddie.

Official response from DOT:

"Ill keep pratce."

Actually it should be Murcer Street, for Bobby.

In a previous job, I was in a brainstorming session with the president and a bunch of other office drones, and the person tasked with writing on the whiteboard spelled marquee, "markey". I saw the Prez trying to stifle a laugh.

this is what happens when they cut education funding, where do you think the uneducated go after they drop out of high school? that's right, they all go to the sign factory.

Literally a sign of the times.

i'm with you BMMDan.

next she's going to do a post about another website having horrible glitches and delays in their comment systems.

I didn't realize Jen Chung worked for the DOT.

Anyone else find it ironic that Jen Carlson is calling out someone for a typo?

Maybe the DoT will introduce a "W Howston" sign!

Could have been worse and wound up as MRSA St.
