Quincy has enjoyed a temperate winter and now things appear to warming up in the Q along with the weather care of longer daylight as we approach and then go past the Spring Equinox on this evening.

Quincy Quarry News opened up the past week by posing to push Quincy Mayor Thomas P. Koch in the caldron as the punching bag at the head of the currently vacant General Manager position at the MBTA.

After all, Mayor Koch has plausible experience.

Are you sure that this is going to work out Little Buddy?

Quincy peerless mayor has also for over a dozen years been the Chair of MBTA Advisory Board, the entity that is supposed to advocate for improving services in communities served by the MBTA.

Not that such has happened as far as public transit riders are concerned.

Mayor Koch is also the senior member of the MBTA’s Board of Directors.

In turn, if he were named the head of the T by rookie Governor Maura Healey perhaps he could then finally see a long overdue new Quincy Center MBTA station might finally perhaps actually happen.

Than again, as much as new Quincy Center station is needed, given what he proposed in the past – and which includes putting the bus platform underneath Burgin Parkway, one can only reasonably view what he is now championing as koched-up as most everything he has done in the almost sixteen years he has been Quincy’s variously challenged mayor.

Still laughing all the way to the bank every month!

Plus, such a promotion from his current already as Quincy’s peerless mayor would be at least several positions past his Peter Principle Point.

On the other hand, scoring this promotion with both a fat pay pop at the public trough pop as well as also an equally porky pension boost that would surely leave Dan “Spanky” Raymondi green with envy.

Even better, local taxpayers might finally see an end to koched-up city spending

More likely, however, if so promoted Mayor Koch would so go the way of other heads of the T and so almost as suffer just a desserts unless any number of outside oversight entities might finally make long overdue calls.

Looking for clues, at least a clue – whatever …

Speaking of trafficking, on both the evening before St. Patrick’s Day as well as on the day itself, traffic accidents appear to have clearly experienced the only to be expected uptick in Quincy on this traditional annual amateur night.

The only good news is that there appear to have been no pedestrian fatalities, although if anyone was so killed such might take a month or so to become known to the public.

Also so far, there is no word of profoundly serious injuries of those in the cars crashed  from those who are tasked to respond to such incident even if someone was given a ride to Carney Hospital.

That and so perhaps also facilitated with a ducking roadside testing of one’s “functionality” at the time of what appears to have been a single vehicle accident.

Local traffic signals, however, took serious beatings not just once but at least twice.

“One Adam Twelve. Pedestrian traffic signal down on Burgin Parkway.”

Not that whacked traffic signals and traffic lights happening are anything all that surprising in the Q.
