New York City Department of Transportation Issues Unfortunate “Jackie” Robinson Parkway Sign

The City Department of Transportation struck out on this.

Big Apple DOT officials defaced a Queens road sign on Jackie Robinson Boulevard by misspelling the name of a baseball Hall of Famer who crossed the color barrier.

The sign at Myrtle Avenue and Forest Park Drive bears a resemblance to the great Brooklyn Dodgers player above the words “Jakie Robinson Parkway”.

“It’s embarrassing,” Glendale native Kira Incantalupo told The Post on Sunday. “Poor Jackie Robinson.

“This shouldn’t have happened,” said Incantalupo, 37. “I mean, no one wants this. This is a monument to someone. This should be fixed.”

Kuana Martin, a 32-year-old local resident, found the typo disrespectful.

“I just feel like it’s a little weird because how do you not know how to spell his name? He is a famous person.”

Queens teenager J.P. Ward took it more harshly.

“This is fucking stupid,” said the 17-year-old. 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 years-long color barrier.

He was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1962, ten years before his death.

“This spelling error is absurd,” City Councilman Robert Holden added on Sunday about a typo in a road sign. “Don’t you have multiple eyes looking at these signs? DOT is a mess.

“This is a slap. Jackie Robinson means a lot to me,” Poland added. “I was a Brooklyn Dodgers fan!”

On Sunday, alerted to the bad road sign, New York’s red-faced DOT officials said the gaffe would be corrected “immediately.”

“It’s just the government,” Queens waitress Aurora Terranova told The Post. “In most cases, something goes wrong due to stupidity or oversight.

“That’s really what it all comes down to.”
