From the NY Post:

“The speed of government is a thing to behold. Fifty-six years after the Verrazzano Bridge opened, workers put up a new sign that corrected a typo by adding a second “z.”

“The bridge opened in 1964, but it wasn’t until 2018 that Albany passed legislation to fix the last name of Italian explorer Giovanni da Verrazzano. It took nearly two more years to fix the first of 19 signs.

“What’s the rush?”

Still, for anyone who doesn’t think government can move fast, check out how quickly they change the “projected payoff” lottery signs. They can do THAT fast enough.
