Koch Maladministration planning a new major rotary even if it no longer takes care of an already existing busier one
– News about traffic and trafficking in Quincy Massachusetts from Quincy Quarry News
Quincy Quarry News hit a particular mean and lately cold run of local roadway to cover the news given both expected legal trafficking and the Koch Maladministrstion’s latest so-called plan to perhaps address (but some of, ed.) traffic expected to arise at some point fast approaching after the many hundreds of under construction apartments at the former site of Quincy’s only but now no longer hospital are completed and then filled with tenants.
The Koch Machine’s so-called plan to address the impending traffic increase sure to soon be hitting the fan on and around Hospital Hill is to opt for building a roundabout – a new name for what in New England has long known as a rotary – at the intersection of Adams and Whitwell streets.
So what, however, about doing something about the concurrently only to be expected congestion on the other end of Whitwell’s intersection with Granite Street or at Adams Street’s nearby messy and already congested intersections with Furnace Brook Parkway and Common Street.
In any event, the Quarry opted to take a look at the already existing and accident-prone rotary on Washington Street on the Quincy side of the Fore River Bridge.
How dangerous is the Washington Street rotary in the Quincy Point neighborhood?
Quincy Quarry personnel have long noticed that the curbing in the center of this rotary that would be roadway were it not for the rotary is trashed as well as likely so by reckless, if not also often impaired and/or distracted drivers.
Seriously trashed.
Further, per one of the most reliable sources for information at the neighborhood level – a neighborhood barber – reports that his customer police officers say that the City of Quincy is in no hurry whatsoever to repair the damaged curbing.
And speaking of trashed, the damaged curbing is right next to Quincy’s still pending first (legal, ed.) recreational pot shop.
In other words, why bother fixing the already trashed curbing as otherwise trashed traffic congestion care of the pot shop is surely headed to new highs.
Further problematic on the trashed front, Quincy Quarry News found that the cut Christmas Tree set up in the landscaped center of the rotary to appear to have also been trashed by a likely already trashed driver.
That and how the Quincy suspects this cut and thus temporary Christmas tree may well be the graceful and climate change–fighting tree that used to be alive and growing next to the Quincy Fire Department’s Houghs Neck fire station.

Have no fear — Adams St. residents will never have to be subjected to the kind of neglect pictured at the Quincy Point rotary.
