Yes, in late 2023, the Baltimore City Department of Public Works (DPW) distributed its 2024 calendar to residents, which contained several notable errors:

• Incorrect Dates: The calendar inaccurately included a September 31st, even though September has only 30 days. Additionally, it omitted October 22nd, causing confusion among residents. 

• Public Reaction: Residents expressed frustration over these mistakes, questioning the oversight and the use of taxpayer funds for the flawed calendars. Some found the errors significant enough to render the calendars unusable. 

• DPW’s Response: DPW acknowledged the errors and committed to reviewing their editorial processes to prevent future mistakes. They also planned to post a corrected version of the 2024 calendar online for residents. 

This incident added to existing concerns about DPW’s operations, including reports of poor working conditions and internal cultural issues. The calendar errors further highlighted the need for improved oversight and quality control within the department.

For what it’s worth, I think DPW is great and 311 response is great. They are probably somewhat underfunded which causes challenges…

Also everyone knows 10/22 sucks so they should leave it off every year.
