Quincy Department of Public Works stonewalling snow removal damage

Quincy Department of Public Works stonewalling snow removal damage control continues.
With summer rapidly winding down, city workers and outside as well as at least some surely favored city vendors are finally making progress on repairing snow removal damage done last winter by City of Quincy workers and outside contractors.
Whether – or not – all of last winter’s plow damage will be repaired before this coming winter, however, remains to be seen.

Courtesy of a Quincy Quarry Citizen Journalist tip, the Quarry was able to dispatch one of its growing numbers of photojournalism teams to find a DPW worker working away at fixing a snow plow damaged stonewall at an especially long historic venue in Quincy Center.
Quincy Quarry further has reason to suspect that this technically retired city worker was party to the construction of a well-done granite wall at a much less historic private venue in North Quincy.
Unknown beyond a reasonable doubt at this point, however, is who or perhaps who all actually paid for this other stonewalling.

Elsewhere around the Q, however, word on the street is that work on other snow plow damage is occasionally hit but still mostly miss.
For example, yard fencing damage was found to have been fixed by the City of Quincy earlier this month at one property near Quincy High School.  At the same time, however, snow plow damage to a fence directly across the street remains untouched at the end of this month.

Quincy Quarry considered reaching out to Department of Public Works Commissar Dan “Spanky” Raymondi for comment, but then decided that it did not care to suffer him droning on and on and on about the heroic and hardworking (few, ed.) women and (at least some not exactly hardworking, ed.) men at the DPW.
Even so, do expect that QQ will all but assuredly continue to follow up with even more snow plow damage exposés as well as on the myriad of other problems breaking badly for Quincy residents and of which many, if not most, are courtesy of the current as well as now perhaps also suspect maladministration in City Hall.

After all, in the Q such coverage is easy pickings.
In the meanwhile, whether – or not – at least most of the snow plow damage is finally repaired before this coming winter and a final as well as proper accounting is made readily available to the public of the upwards of $13 million – and probably more – in total snow removal costs and related room service bills incurred during last winter’s just barely record snowfall on plowing work most locals would unsatisfactory happen before the new year’s widely anticipated change in administration in City Hall remains to be seen.
