Where is Zorro when we really need him? With a few swishes of his blade, he could quickly correct a long-standing typo and add a "Z" to the spelling of "Verrazano Bridge" so it matches its namesake, the Italian-born explorer Giovanni da Verrazzano.

The issue recently resurfaced when a college student brought media attention to the spelling error which has existed since the bridge opened in 1964. Most stories treated the issue somewhat humorously. The MTA's response was that it had no intention of correcting the error, citing the cost.
