'State Collage of Florida’? Sign misspelled for state school

Wellington Moore sent a photo of the misspelled sign to the newspaper last week.

"This is unbelievable," Moore wrote the Herald-Tribune. "The irony that an institution of higher learning has a sign like this is just hilarious to me."

Brian Rick, a spokesperson for the Florida DOT, told the newspaper he cringed when he saw the photo of the sign. Rick said the sign was removed Monday.

“This sign is part of an ongoing sidewalk construction project on U.S. 41 from River Road to Woodmere Park Boulevard,” Rick wrote “The contractor is responsible to correct the misspelled sign.”

The contractor is Florida Safety Contractors Inc., the Herald-Tribune reported.

In addition to signs, the contractor is responsible for the construction of sidewalk and bus shelter pads, the installation of guardrail and lighting and drainage improvements, the newspaper reported.

The job is scheduled to be finished this summer.
