Snowbound? Plowed in? Suffering yellow snow? Snow-dazed?
If so, Quincy Quarry News has found a place for you to vent!
On City of Quincy’s homepage for its Department of Public Works’s webpage is a graphic snowflake website button to click to e-file along a snow removal request.
Specific complaint options are: Road not plowed, Road needs to be salted, Road (sic) not pushed back to curb, Vehicles parked illegally or on wrong side of the street (“redumbdant:”), and Vehices impending snow removal as well as catch all else Other.
Take a number

Granted, while Quincy Quarry News has no idea how long this online complaint line has been in operation, much less how long it takes for a service request to perhaps be addressed, why not have at it even if it might be more cathartic to vent on someone directly.
Especially when one is snowbound care of a lack of only to be expected snow clearing municipal services.
Phipps Street – snow not pushed back to curb on even side! No place to park! Get busy!
None of the streets are plowed curb to curb. Try driving around the schools at pickup times with people trying to park both sides and blocking traffic.
We are all screwed for some bad decisions the mayor and the now thankfully former city council have made.
We could have a bigger snow budget and carry over the excess in light years. Instead — for but a few examples, the mayor spent millions on tacky cemetery gates, secretly planned religious statues for the new police station, an another statue where Acapulco’s used to be and so took out local tax revenue in favor of a random park.
Also don’t forget all the debt from the Quincy center projects as well as money-losing land swaps and other taxpayer-funded incentives for favored developers.
Even so, the mayor thinks he should get a big raise for all of this mismanagement.
It’s also only going to get worse Tuesday night with another 2-4 inches of snow.
