Quincy Center repaving project cover-up?
As one could only reasonably imagine as well as even more expect, Quincy Quarry News continues to pound local pavement in the pursuit of exposés so as to continue its many-part series tied to the repaving of a Quincy Center sidestreet that had long been paved with basically but a patchwork of pothole patches.
As such, the Quarry has so uncovered yet another cover-up.
Then again, what else can one expect from a paving story – even if it does not result in finally finding Jimmy Hoffa.

At the same time, what was covered up is still arguably a new low water mark for the Koch Maladministration – at least as far as paving goes, that is.
While not readily clear from exclusive Quincy Quarry News images, this latest local cover-up was the covering over with black asphalt sealer an inexplicably painted crosswalk in the middle of the repaved roadway. Unfortunately, Quincy Quarry was only able to score after photos.
Even so, for an Only in Quincy slant, the now-covered-over crosswalk was a crosswalk that crossed over to essentially nowhere as the former sidewalk on one side of the street is now nowhere to be seen.
See the sidewalk, left: now you do not, right

In turn, one can thus only assume that City of Quincy personnel failed to duly specify the work to be done per the contract documents on this paving work and/or failed to monitor the paving contractor on the job and so had to quickly arrange for a change order to cover-up this latest Q-up in the Q.
After all, what else can one expect from the Koch Maladministration?
One thing is certain — the contractor was following a city-approved plan, to the letter.
Were there no city personnel required on site while this work was being performed in order to monitor or be consulted on the progress?
Now, here’s a mystery — who actually painted over the crosswalk? Did the city do it or did the city order the contractor to do it?
Something tells me that answers — at least credible ones — will be hard to come by unless someone asks the contractor directly
