Southern Artery was again shut down after pedestrian was hit by a motor vehicle yesterday evening.
Per Quincy Quarry New’s Citizen Police Scanner Monitor, yet again on a dark and stormy long holiday weekend this month yet another pedestrian was struck by a motor vehicle near the Quincy Police Department headquarters.
This third pedestrian so struck is a female.
Further disconcerting was how her crying which could he heard in the background of Quincy police radio chatter.
No word, however, as to her condition; at the same time, the radio chatter indicated that the driver of the vehicle was taken to police headquarters for at least questioning.
Also unclear is if the construction disruption along Southern Artery care of the costs-soaring Quincy Police headquarters replacement project may have been a factor and which if so could potentially again exposé the City of Quincy and thus ultimately local taxpayers to an expensive liability claim.

What is clear is that shortly after traffic in Quincy returned to its usual sorry state after yesterday’s 69th Annual Quincy Christmas Parade ended as such not only reopened Hancock Street from Firestone Tire on the edge of Quincy Center to North Quincy High School to regular traffic, the conclusion of the parade also allowed regular traffic flow on the major crossroads of School and Elm Streets, Hannon Parkway and Revere Road, Furnace Brook Parkway, Southern Artery, Beach and Beale Streets, and Squantum Street, traffic in the vicinity of the Quincy Police Department headquarters was again disrupted given yet another nearby pedestrian strike.

People are getting stabbed and run over most everywhere in Quincy. Quincy is not safe.
2 problems, 1 easy fix.
The problems. People are driving like assholes, period. Also, pedestrians are walking like assholes, just stepping out, not looking and think they are entitled to that space. Maybe, getting hit by a not so soft car will teach them.
The fix, see police get their asses out of chairs and put their boots on the ground. Start putting humans on the street to direct traffic.
Johnson.
A modest additional proposal: also issue warnings, if not also traffic citations. Just regularly working a handful of intersections off the top of my head on a rotating basis would be traffic ticket revenue gold mines.
Agree. Tickets for jaywalking and running yellow lights. $1000 dollar fine.
A minor quibble. I personally find jaywalking as way safer than using crosswalks to cross at least certain streets in Quincy.
What is happening is these people just step out no matter what color the light is and they don’t move. Slower than a dead turtle. I don’t have a problem with anyone who is careful and runs out of the way. Arrogance on the rise.
In November, more people were stabbed than run over by cars in Quincy! Johnson needs to take a ride along with the QPD before redeploying General Keenen’s troops.
Quincy is just a trash hole now. Too many stupid people and drivers. Too much of everything. It use to be a nice place to live but not anymore. It sucks!!!
I agree 100%
It formerly was Boston’s claim to fame but is now becoming common in Quincy: pedestrians as hood ornaments.
