Nice try but no Louisburg Square

Major League Baseball’s recent All Star Game break notwithstanding, Quincy Quarry fearlessly pointed out that Team Koch still managed to yet again strikeout this past week.

First up, Quincy Quarry exposéd an easy peasy lambasting of the latest landscaping fails tied to Kim Jong Koch Plaza.

And yes as well as can only be expected, these fails were expensive even if but so on relative basis on what was a small project so as to endeavor to ape Louisberg Square on Beacon Hill instead of plebeian Quincy Center no matter how much more Quincy Mayor Thomas P. Koch might spend in and around so far costing $35 million and still counting Kim Jong Koch Plaza which once was known as Quincy Square.

And for the next swing and a miss, Quincy Quarry News‘ exposéd how the City of Quincy’s Department of Natural Resources failed to protect an adopted landscaped city traffic island in Quincy Point. 

Then again, it is not like Mayor Koch is seeking to score runs in the Point.

And finally for the last strike in this latest striking out by the Koch Maladministration, Quincy Quarry News exposéd the maladministration of the City of Quincy’s re-repaving of East Squantum Street after repaving it less than two years ago as well as then also both replacing old asphalt sidewalks with new concrete ones and adding sidewalks were none had previously been in place.

Bad roadwork done in late 2021 …

The key reason for the redo? 

The underground utility work done in late 2021 was ill-done. 

In turn, the City of Quincy’s Department of Public Works thus owns this fail as it both does the engineering design for such work in-house as well as then (supposedly, ed.) oversees the contractor(s) doing the work.

Regardless, Squantum residents scored VIP treatment even as all but innumerable streets in Quincy are in worse shape than was when the failed redo was done less than two years ago.

It’s not like it’s my money that I am spending …

After all, it is a local election year and Quincy’s peerless mayor is pandering for needed voter support in Squantum by tapping taxpayers’ money given that he has deservedly cost himself support in many other parts of Quincy as well as is sure to continue to do so as he has a knack for doing so.

Same/same with Mayor Koch’s working to see Squantum Elementary School replaced in coming years even if Lincoln-Hancock is far more deserving of a makeover.

That and Mayor Koch’s sure to fail and probably also expensive — if not also stupendously expensively so — efforts to try to koch-block the City of Boston’s unarguable legal rights to rebuild its Long Island Bridge on its dime.

But what the hey, it’s not like he is betting the ranch with his own ranch …
