PARSIPPANY-TROY HILLS — As first reported in Parsippany Focus on Monday, September 18, 2017 (click here for original story), the sign at the corner of Littleton Road and Frontage Road contained a typo. Parsippany was spelled “Parisppany.”
Prior to publishing the story, Parsippany Focus contacted the New Jersey Department of Transportation and spoke to Mr. Anthony Sytko, Regional Manager. He stated he was unaware of the misspelling in Parsippany and will contact the engineering department for verification and will update Parsippany Focus at a later time.
We did not hear back from Mr. Sytko, but the sign since has been corrected.
After we ran the story, Parsippany Patch, published the story on Thursday, September 21. Daily Record also published the story on Tuesday, September 19. News12NJ also did a broadcast regarding the incorrect spelling of Parsippany.
The sign, on Littleton Road north, just prior of the Route 80 overpass, was installed following work completed on the new entrance ramp in 2015 after more than two years of road construction projects on Routes 80 and 287. The previously entrance ramp to Route 80 was converted into a local street and named Frontage Road.
