Quincy Center continues to see new pavement.

Most of the rest of Quincy, however, so far not so much.

In particular, other than a not all that long run of not all that old pavement that is Revere Road from Hancock Street to where Revee turns into McGrath Highway and then on to McGrath’s intersection with Washington, all main streets within the Quincy Center redevelopment district have been repaved in recent years.

So too have a number of side streets in the Quincy Center redevelopment district, including the now-former patchwork of pothole patches that paved Saville Avenue and which has been recently redone as well as repeatedly exposed concurrently by Quincy Quarry with even more to follow.

Conversely, per random drives in and around Quincy, Quarry personnel have not seen much else in the way of repaving sorely needed elsewhere in Quincy so far this summer.

So what, apparently, about spreading asphalt around the whole of Quincy care of a $100 million bond authorization to fund a five-year road reconstruction plan.

Other than reports of an extensive renovation of sidewalks in Squantum, that is.

Additionally, one can only wonder what is planned for the annual Chapter 90 funds provided to the City of Quincy by the state to undertake road work.

Then again, the evergrowing legions of loyal Quincy Quarry News readers have a pretty good idea as to what to expect.
