– News about Quincy MA from Quincy Quarry News.
Quincy Snow removal damage repair costs are sure to soar as the winter snow pack melts.
The only question is how much.
As exampled in the accompanying photographs, Quincy Quarry has found considerable damage from snow removal efforts just about everywhere they go in the Q.
Many loyal Quincy Quarry readers have also deluded its City Editor with comments about the massive range of damage done just about everywhere around town by typically outside contractors and workers from as far away as Connecticut who had not a clue about the Q until they laid waste to city as well as private property all over town.

As the snow melts, the more the damage becomes ever more obvious.
Also obvious is how all too typically out of town contractors and their often non local workers from as far away as Connecticut had not a clue about the Q as they have they laid waste to city as well as private property all over town as well as arguably also did not know the Q they were doing in general.
Admittedly, snowdrifts often covered over all manner of things; however, given how poorly local streets were often but narrowly cleared, the damage done during snow removal often extends well past curbs and even sidewalks as well as is considerable.

Further inexplicable is how even telephone poles well in from the curb were whacked.
After all, as deep as the snowdrifts were last month, none came close to fully burying even merely but one telephone pole.
At the same time, nowhere on the grounds surrounding City Hall is there anywhere near as much, if any, obvious snow removal damage.
Similarly, construction on the running every more late and over budget old City Hall renovation project continues full steam ahead so as to perhaps eventually actually be completed.
Still, city officials said that the City of Quincy will pay for any damage.
Not noted, however, is how actually ALL local taxpayers will eventually be stuck with covering the bills for the damage done by clearly less than carefully operated  City and City-contracted snow removal equipment.

Whether – or not – current city officials will pay come the fall elections remains to be seen.
And as for the final cost, figure on at least several hundred thousand dollars, exclusive of the costs for City Hall to process the damage claims filed by private property owners.
