Quincy Center road construction agony will continue to be agony.

As should come as no one familiar with the dismal project management performance of local infrastructure projects, the Hancock Street Misalignment project is now expected to perhaps be finished by the of this year’s construction season and thus one would hope before what both long range forecasters and bushy squirrel tails are telling us is going to be tough winter.

At the same time, however, local should be wary. 

Koch Maladministration spokesmodel Pinocchio Walkbacker arguably walked back expectations yet again as to the when the originally projected to be twenty months or so project is currently projected to perhaps finally be completed.

Specifically, as cited in the South Shore Broadsheet, “… (a) third (also running behind schedule, ed.) public-infrastructure project in Quincy Center that could wrap up by the end of this construction season … is the ongoing $7.9 million road-and-sidewalk-improvement project, which broke ground in the spring of 2014.”

At this point, if the Hancock Street Misalignment project is actually completed by the current tentatively hoped by perhaps around the holidays projection, this latest running late and probably also running over budget Koch Maladministration project will have thus run a year late.

If this construction project is not completed before the holidays, however, it is widely feared that Quincy Center merchants might go postal over the loss of holiday season sales for the third year in a row care of this all but interminably running late project.

And on a bitter sweet note, construction has progressed to a point that one of the last remaining hardy trees still standing along the route of the misalignment of Hancock Street was whacked.

Services are currently tentatively set for later in the week at the Church of Heavenly Trees. 

Expect service particulars to be published in Quincy Quarry if they are announced.
