Quincy City Hall sodded on a long holiday weekend Saturday.

As was only reasonably predicted by Quincy Quarry News previously, weekend work is underway this Saturday so that landscaping construction work might be at least sufficiently enough completed Hancock/Adams Common – but better known as Kim Jong Koch Plaza by Quincy Quarry’s ever-growing legions of loyal readers – in time for this well past over the top park’s official dedication next Saturday.

“Taking care of business and working overtime”
Lyrics by Randy Bachman

While no one inside of City Hall would care to be asked if any additional overtime costs are going inflicted on local taxpayers from all of the at least several months of Saturday construction work on this latest over the top Kochian edifice complex, the total cost for Phase 1 preparation work and the current Phase 2 landscaping construction work will surely total up to somewhere in the neighborhood of $25 million or more.

Further, expect millions more in costs to follow to complete Phase 3 after an as yet unfunded reconstruction of the Quincy Center MBTA might be undertaken at some future date which the T has yet to even but tentatively float.

In turn, and as has been acknowledged by Mayor Koch, the total cost to eventually complete Kim Jong Koch Plaza will approach upwards of $30 million – before, that is, any further and only proper consideration of the sure to be a considerable increase in landscape maintenance costs as well as increased policing needed after the plaza is opened up to public uses and abuses.

As a point of reference, the City of Boston is spending only – at most – half as much as Quincy on per square foot to undertake a complete makeover of its city hall plaza.
