Since When Does Greenfield Have a Collage Ave.?

Federal mandate to change street signs is off to a rough start.

Oops! I'mΒ pretty sure they meant College, and not Collage.

Efforts to comply with a new federal mandate that requires all street signs to be comprised of both lowercase and uppercase letters, and use more reflective material is underway, but it appears, at least according to this photo by Β Scott and Jana Rusk,Β the new mandate doesn't care much about spelling.

Now, maybe there was a name change that no one was made aware of, but I'm pretty sure that's not the case.

It should be noted that Greenfield employees did not make the spelling mistake, but Superintendent of Public Works Dan Ewert said his department might be able to correct it.
