The city Department of Transportation struck out on this one.
Big Apple DOT officials botched a Queens road sign for the Jackie Robinson Parkway, misspelling the color-barrier-busting baseball Hall of Famer’s name.
The sign at Myrtle Avenue and Forest Park Drive features a likeness of the Brooklyn Dodgers’ great — atop the words “Jakie Robinson Parkway.”
“It’s embarrassing,” Glendale native Kira Incantalupo told The Post on Sunday. “Poor Jackie Robinson.
“That shouldn’t have happened,” said Incantalupo, 37. “I mean, nobody wants to have that. It’s a memorial for somebody. It should be corrected.”
Local resident Quana Martin, 32, found the typo disrespectful.
“I just feel it’s a little odd because how do you not know how to spell his name? He’s a well-known figure.”
Queens teen JP Ward had a harsher take.
“It’s f–king stupid,” the 17-year-old said. “I wouldn’t say it’s disrespectful, but it’s definitely stupid.”
Robinson became the first black ball player in Major League Baseball when he was called up by the Dodgers in 1947, breaking the sport’s decades-old color barrier.
He was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1962, a decade before his death.
“This spelling mistake is absurd,” City Councilman Robert Holden added of the road-sign typo on Sunday. “You don’t have a few eyes looking at these signs? DOT is a mess.
Question: When did anyone call number 42 "JR"?

Biden World !
The sign was most likely made by one of 'the usual suspects' in a NY State prison sign shop. These guys aren't even in the middle of the IQ bell curve, they're on the left side.

I believe the Soviets and the Germans were big fans of 15 minute cities.
Musk for NYC Mayor.
Maybe he can streamline our bloated Government and get rid of useless agencies.
Easy fix using someone else's money. Usually the governments aka the taxpayers.
You want to sleep during work hours? Get a government job!
A non-story as usual. NYC is a waste....
So take it down and put up the correct sign what's the big deal here
It will forever be the Interboro Parkway, a name that actually makes sense and is not just an oblation to America's most worthy caste.
Don't blame the illiterate asshole who did the contracting, or the moron proofreader, or the Mayor, blame the idiot teacher who only knew how to teach CRT or how to get a sex change. It's what the country wants!
Lucky it didn't come out "Tza Kyi Wobi Sun" from Fua Xing.
Just wear your Amelikan Gloly shirt, now, ya hear,
Here in the "Great Swamp of Florida", our beloved leader, "Mickey Mouse Ron", would have restored it to its rightful name, "InterBro'Parkway". After which, he would decree that all references to Jackie, or Jakie, or JR would result in re-education of the unfortunate perpetrators.
Why are these people playing baseball on the parkway anyway?
This is why Why these Libturd Cities Are More Doomed Than Others !

The entire NYC administration is a hot mess
The NYC Public Schools do such a great job educating our youth!? Remember they're the leaders of tomorrow! Hats off!
Darwin Democrats who can't read/write or pass a Civil Service test without 25 extra points added to their final test score.
This is caused by the failed soros group public education promoted and fully implemented by the UFT ! 2+2=5 ?
Most NYC workers today are so dumb its really sad. They know only fake news.
This is living proof for the need for charter and parochial schools not indoctrination camps aka the public schools.

No, this is another example of why clowns like you should have paid attention and learned something at school.
Its Bootyiegeg's fault actually....

Not all NYC workers are Trumpanzees, and QAnon drones. There are a few who don't fall for these type of charlatans.
