– News about Quincy MA from Quincy Quarry News
A Quincy temporary one way traffic plan sign directs traffic into a Do Not Enter street.
In a winter rife with Q-ups by the City of Quincy, this latest one takes things even further into annals of Q-ing up in the Q well beyond even what one could not have imagined possible even as recently as last week.
In an exclusive scoop, Quincy Quarry has found that the City of Quincy has finally implemented a week late its revised version of its not implemented on the fly plan to develop and then impose a one way temporary traffic plan given this winter’s snow storms in wake of the City’s poor response to the storms has finally been implemented.
Conversely, the City of Boston implemented its long outstanding snow emergency one way traffic plan roughly a month ago and is thus now unwinding the plan as Boston continues to make steady as well as obvious actual progress clearing its many streets in often far more tightly developed neighborhoods than those still all but snowbound in Quincy.
In typical City of Quincy fashion, however, neither the City of Quincy nor the Quincy Police Department tweeted out any tweets nor did the City duly announce via the City’s website its imposition of one way streets upon upwards of tens of thousands of local residents.
As such, many local residents have awoke up to find their streets turned into one way streets literally during the dark of night as well as apparently absent any robo call announcement program implemented by city officials.
Reasons for the lack of notice are suspected to include that City officials probably felt it best to implement the new one way street program as covertly as possible so as to not further inflame locals already on the edge that they should expect to have to continue suffer narrow and snow-lined goat paths where once they had streets for sometime yet to come.
Further problematic, while the one-way street plan imposed would appear to have addressed at least some instances of problems with the original plan wherein residents one could only either leave or return to their residence legally – but not the reverse, Quincy Quarry has received word that the revised one way street plan still presents all manner of problems above and beyond the painfully obvious example pointed out in the featured photo for this latest Quincy Quarry story.
For example, one local resident complains of having to travel an extra mile to reach her residence Quincy’s Ward 1.
Whether – or not – Ward 1’s City Councillor has addressed this Q-up remains to be seen.
That and finally seeing that her own street is plowed after numerous cases of “snow flu” by overly hectored plow operators left her street all but as badly plowed as the rest of Hough’s Neck and thus her potentially subject to perhaps ending up in a snow bank.
That or even more baseless as well as base letters of complaint sent to Quincy Quarry.
Additionally, in yet another example of the Koch Maladministration dropping the plow, the weather forecast for the next week predicts temperature to range in the balmy upper 40 to 50 degree range.
Given the wide range of things inexcusable, Quincy Quarry saw no point in reaching out to mayoral brother-in-law Quincy Police Chief Paul “The Beav” Keenan for comment on this latest Q-up.
The Quarry also saw no point reaching out to City Hall spokesmodel Pinocchio Backwalker.
Reasons include that not only would anything consequential, much less even something perhaps remotely plausible as valid be provided, reliable leaks from City Hall have advised Quincy Quarry that Backwalker is too busy trying to come up with a over spun spin campaign to, unlike Harry S. Truman, attempt to absolve the Koch Maladministration of any blame for any of the many things that gone wrong while it has been in office over the past 7-plus years.
Fortunately for long suffering local residents, the mayoral primary election is less than 6 months away.

Which will cause more suffering for the residence of Quincy? Dealing with another snow storm or 6 months till election?
Not all that tough a call.
After all, the July thaw is coming whereas the primary election isn’t until September – and even then we’d still be suck with Mayor Joke until January even if voters kick him to the curb at the polls.
