Too shcool for school
NOT THE SHARPEST KNIVES IN THE DRAWER: Markings on a crosswalk on Stanton Street in lower Manhattan outside Marta Valle High School warns drivers that they are entering a "SHCOOL X-NG" zone. The mistake apparently went unnoticed for several months:
The Department of Transportation claims the mistake was made by a utility provider conducting repairs on the street, according to The New York Post, which first reported the glaring error.
City officials say utility providers and contractors are responsible for returning city streets back to normal after repairs.
But at least one city worker told the paper the blame lies not with the utility company or the city, but with the school.
"Regardless of who painted it, someone from the school should have been outside supervising, or noticed it by now," the city worker, who asked to remain anonymous, told the Post. "This is sloppy work."
All the buck-passing notwithstanding, the article in The Post did the trick to get the misspelling corrected.
