Quincy Quarry uncovers a simple solution for parking problem in Quincy Center?
Long suffering abutters and others similarly suffering from both the running behind schedule Hancock Street realignment project and the running way later as well as even more over budget City Hall renovation project are now also in their third week of further suffering in the wake of the Koch Maladministration’s recent faux gesture claiming that it would free up some desperately needed parking near City Hill as promised.

The faux gesture:  supposedly making available for use by the public some of the parking spaces in front of the Quincy Center MBTA that have long been reserved for City Hall employees and both long as well as widely suspected VIP free parking commuters.
In any event, Quincy Quarry has discovered a very simple solution to secure free parking in multiple construction projects-blighted and thus even more parking space scarce Quincy Center:  write up a short note claiming to be in a meeting with the Mayor and then put the note on the dash of one’s vehicle.

At minimum, per the observation of Quincy Quarry stakeout personnel as well as back-up Citizen Journalist/Whistleblower observers, the use of such notes on several different vehicles appears to be extremely effective at allowing such handwritten note equipped vehicles to park with impunity for longer – to much longer – than the new posted 30 minute parking limit when stopping by to do business with City Hall.
Even better, the opportunity to play turnabout with the Mayor’s office via the use of a faux claim of a meeting is only fair given duly embattled incumbent Mayor Thomas P. Koch’s long history of making faux claims.
Unfortunately, however, individuals with red or blue and sometimes even both colors of City Hall employee parking stickers on their vehicle continue to squat in the new 30 minute use limit parking spaces for longer to much longer than 30 minutes.

How long this local variation on “do you know who I am” will continue remains uncertain.
At the same time, however, most savvy locals are all but certain that the legions of also often self-aggrandized members of La Kocha Nostra will continue taking up space at the public’s sufferance as well as expense until at least the swearing in of a new mayoral term in January.
Whether – or not – duly embattled incumbent Mayor Thomas P. Koch will be the one taking the oath of office in January remains to be seen.
