Quincy digs out after the Bombogenesis blizzard of 2022.
As are many local residents, Quincy Quarry News is still digging out from its piles of snow images gathered during the storm as well as what it left behind after it blew out to sea.
For example, the Quincy Quarry photos featured in this Quarry feature were taken late Sunday morning.
Needless to say, while for the most part major local streets were plowed wide, the plowing was not always at least close to the curb.
And then there is the problem with covered with snow sidewalks along the perimeter of city properties.
Other than, of course, Kim Jong Koch Plaza in front of City Hall as photo-documented in this story’s featured photo.
On top of the obvious problems of forcing pedestrians to run the risk of walking along the edge of snow-piles narrowed streets that have long been becoming ever-increasingly meaner even during the best of conditions, there is the clear problem with how city snow plowers are not responsibly honoring the intent of complying with the Americans with Disabilities Act as corner curb cuts are often covered over with tall piles of frozen snow.
Then again, the local disability commission did not hold a meeting for years during the reign of the Koch Machine until after considerable complaints forced Quincy Mayor Thomas P. Koch to reload the commission with hand-picked coat holders who now occasionally met even if so far the commission members look to have not yet addressed any of many merely but access problems facing the less able to be readily able to travel out and about.
The city did a terrible job clearing the snow after the storm. The sidewalks and side streets are still a mess.
So has every town on the South Shore …. everyone is short-staffed, we all need to have a little patience….and why are you so whiny ALL THE TIME!
Debra, are you a member of the entitled Koch/Keenan clan? If so, how many members of your family are on the city payroll nowadays? Too many to count, I know.
Have you toured every town on the South Shore? Have you taken a walk or driven around Quincy? I think not. Quincy is a mess. Both Braintree and Hingham did a much better job clearing their roads!
My wife and I have been taxpaying residents of Quincy for 58 years, so I think this gives me the right to complain about unsafe sidewalks and roads.
Are you insulting a senior citizen over a comment? Classless!
“….and why are you so whiny ALL THE TIME!”
Hey Debbie, you might ask why the Lord Mayor craps up everything he touches . . . ALL THE TIME!
DEBRA KEENAN SEEMS TRIGGERED! Who types their name in all caps?
Hmm — a Keenan, any relation to the Kochs?
Says a Keenan! Classic!
Staffing? Patience? Debra sounds “Koched-up.”
Dollars to donuts that Debra works in HR at Quincy College, the place where those who can’t be grifted with a gig at the public trough at City Hall.
Nepotism is racist!
Grumpy Gramps for Mayor!
