Quincy road work was misdone and is thus now undergoing a makeover.
Granted, repairing any street in Quincy is a good thing, but koching-up on the work not so much.
Per the head of the City of Quincy’s Department of Public Works Commissioner, the recently completed full redo of a residential side street, including the replacement of underground utilities, near the top of the hill on Quarry Street is going to have its new pavement redone.
Impacted parties only just found out about their facing an additional round of construction disruption but a few short days before this further round of disruption was inflicted upon those already long suffering the inconvenience that comes with a roadway makeover.
Purported reasons for the makeover are over the work not meeting design specifications per a letter from the public works commissioner.

Per an impacted street resident who dimed word of this redo of a makeover to Quincy Quarry News, however, the problem was not a matter of the work not meeting design specifications so much as the lack of including curbing to control storm water runoff on what is a narrow and often steep street was giving rise to erosion damage.
In turn, such baits embarrassing questions for the Department of Public Works.
One is did it public works duly monitor the work of the contractor on this project to assure the work was completed as specified?

And the other, did public work’s engineering unit fail to properly design things needed to effect a proper and long-lasting makeover?
In any event, Quincy Quarry News’ ever-growing legions of loyal readers can count on the Quarry to monitor this situation and report back as appropriate.
