Quincy trying new ideas to protect street signage

– News about Quincy MA from Quincy Quarry News.
Quincy is apparently trying new ideas to protect street signage.
In the wake of the Winter of 2015’s record setting and still counting expenditures on snow removal damage in the City of Quincy, the City of Quincy is apparently as well as it would also appear desperately trying just about anything to try to keep city street signage in place until at least next winter.
For example, the City of Quincy is apparently testing the use of temporary signage at the intersections of Granite Street and Burgin Parkway.
This signage is not, however, proving effective as even Quincy drivers know better than to pull up to the limit line at this point along Granite Street and so risk ending up clipped by vehicles making a left off of Burgin Parkway onto Granite Street.

Additionally, it is surely only a matter of time before this sign is itself clipped and has been the case for both many street signs as well as far too many pedestrians in the Q in recent years.
At best, however, the only clearly successful and apparently new street signage protection protocol is that which has been implemented for City of Quincy street signage adjacent to the burnt out remains of the former Masonic Temple in Quincy Center along Russell Park.
This signage has survived unscathed – at least so far – given considerable protection afforded to it by Jersey barriers as well as copious amounts of granite riprap.

Quincy Quarry considered reaching out to City of Quincy Department of Public Works Commissar Dan “Spanky” Raymondi for comment about the apparent attempts by his department to protect City of Quincy street signage, however, it did not care to hear him go on and on about the hard-working men and few women at the DPW when it knows that working hard at the DPW is not universal.

That and the Quarry also did not want to suffer listening to Spanky go on and on and on and on even more, especially when there are other breaking badly for locals news events that deserve hard-hitting coverage as only the Quarry delivers long-suffering local residents of the Q.
As such, expect even more hard-hitting coverage to follow in Quincy Quarry.
