Chair Car needed to move disabled in snowbound Quincy?

– News and commentary about Quincy from Quincy Quarry News

Quincy yet again disses disabled.

As has long been the case, the City of Quincy continues to make sure that City Hall is thoroughly plowed but access to it by the disabled as well as that access for the disabled in general in the wake of a snowstorm leaves the disabled very much less than able to get around in the Q.

Quincy Quarry News personnel explored the Q after this week’s ultimately but middling Winter Storm Stella and so found the increasingly mean streets of the Q especially mean for the less able among us.

Readily obvious to Quarry personnel was that handicapped ramps at crosswalks most everywhere were blocked with frozen hard snow piled up by taxpayer-funded snow plows.

Further troubling in particular was how the but two city-provided handicapped parking spaces that are only but somewhat near City Hall were blocked by frozen hard snow piles whereas the City Hall VIP parking lot was perfectly plowed as usual.

Quincy Quarry must, however, only properly report one instance of clearing a short run of all but hopelessly icebound Quincy Center sidewalk along Hancock Street.

An office tenant adjacent to the exceedingly rare post storm sidewalk clearing scene is said to have been livid that the city sidewalk in front of this person’s office space had been made all but utterly impassable for the disabled by city-sourced snow plowing efforts as this individual was hosting an event for 300 people on Wednesday night and thus the day after the storm.

This office tenant is said to have a personal relationship with the mayor and, after making a purported call to the mayor’s office, a crew was said to been quickly dispatched to the scene and the blockage was cleared.

While the mayor’s office does deserve some credit for a prompt response, such does not offset the fact that city resources had made an all but impassable mess of things in the first place – especially as similar messes can still be readily found throughout the Q.

Then again, one can only reasonable suspect that perhaps the mayor is running out of friends.

Quincy Quarry considered reaching out to Koch Maladministration spokesmodel Pinocchio Walkbacker for comment; however, the City Editor only reasonably assumed why bother as surely no one of but middling or greater import at City Hall would be making it back from Quincy’s annual Saint Patrick’s Day luncheon or otherwise be lucid before Quincy Quarry publication’s deadline for today.
