– News about Quincy from Quincy Quarry News
Quincy Center traffic lights are sideways.
First it was sidewalks, then trees and which were followed by street signs that have been made or knocked sideways.
Now, however, it is traffic lights in addition to City Hall that are now among the many things crooked in Quincy Center.
Given the recent serious injury of a pedestrian in Quincy Center by a driver of a motor vehicle, one cannot help but fear even worse is impending at one of the busier intersections in Quincy Center given a crooked traffic light.

Jerry-rigged half-baked fix?

One can also only assume that attempts to effect a Q-ed up jerry-rig repair of this traffic light were endeavored that it is otherwise inexplicably precariously braced with a rope of some sort.
So what, apparently, for trying to see these lights returned to something at least reasonably close to upright plumb.
Additionally troubling is the cacophony of traffic lights at this intersection given various traffic and street light upgrades in progress along the long ongoing Hancock Street misalignment project.
At the  same time, however, Quincy Quarry News saw no reason to bother trying to contact Department of Public Works Commissar Dan “Spanky” Raymondi for comment as it saw no point in suffering him drone on and on and on some more about the heroic and hardworking (few, ed.) women and (at least some not exactly hardworking, ed.) men at the DPW.

Even so, one cannot help but have grave concerns that at least some drivers will be confused by the current overabundance traffic lights at this and other busy intersections along the route of the Hancock Street misalignment project and so fail to note this curiously crooked set of traffic lights.
Moreover, the crooked traffic lights might otherwise be missed given that the focal points of these lights are currently pointed upwards instead of towards oncoming traffic.
Further yet, one cannot help but worry what will happen come perhaps by around mid-year when Hancock Street in front of City Hall is closed off to through traffic, Temple Street is changed from one way to two way traffic and other lesser changes are inflicted upon Quincy Center trafficking upon the event of the eventual completion of the Hancock Street misalignment project.
As such, expect Quincy Quarry to cover the sure to be breaking badly trafficking news when the traffic flow changes in Quincy Center are sure to prove chaotic, if not perhaps also catastrophic for at least a time.
