Traffic - Sign/Crosswalk Acknowledged2-20 Farrington Street Quincy, Massachusetts - QuincyThe ONEWAY arrow sign on the corner of farrington and w. squantum is gone! Drivers coming along w. squantum toward hancock cannot see the DO NOT enter signs. A ONEWAY arrow sign was atop the street name sign which helped to communicate, but it's not there any more. Can this sign be replaced?

Sidewalk/Street Repair Acknowledged100 West Squantum Street Quincy, Massachusetts - QuincyAll along W. Squantum Street including from Hancock back to before Pres Golf Course the new gas pipe installation project and new intersection construction has left the streets' gutters littered with asphalt residue (small rocks). I think it a good idea and practice to have a sweeper truck do a clean-up before and after the work is completed. I feel it's time to clean-up what is there now, and again when it's done. Hope this can happen soon, thanks.

Litter/Shopping Carts Acknowledged1 Mechanic Street Quincy, Massachusetts - QuincyBroken beer bottle and food in Town Brook Park. Sad, but true. The two Parks on either side of Mechanic Street are such a wonderful addition to our City, it's such a disgrace that there are those who are so oblivious to it.

6 Arlington St Quincy, MA - Quincy
Between 1 and 2pm, Sunday, September 9th, I noticed children playing catch in traffic on the street, standing on the corner and sitting on the curb while parents attended church up stairs at 34 Newport Ave in the New Born Again Church.
I understand children playing, but I warned the City of this potential before, this is a dangerous intersection and now that families are converging upon this local a clear and present danger is active. I have not seen children playing on the street out side of other Churches, Temples, Mosks, Synogogues, etc.I fear for the childrens safey. Yes lack a place to play while parents are attending church, obviously. But the city has been made aware of this dangerous stituation now more than once. If someone get killed while playing in the street here, the city will be made liable. You have been warned.

Inadequite Signage AcknowledgedArlington Street Quincy, MA - QuincyI witness numerous vehicle during the course of any given day (today, two within minutes of eachother, which prompted this report.) driving the wrong way on Arlinton Street From Newport Ave to West Squantum Street. There is not enough signage (Do Not Enter, and One Way) to inforce the idea that this street is ONEWAY. In particlular, the intersection of Arlington and the drive between Fayette and Arlington NEEDS signage to indicate at that point that Arlington is ONEWAY. There are no signs at this point. Drivers from the Parking Lot along Arlington near Newport Way, and, from Newport Ave are driving the wrong way - careless or not this is dangerous and The City could be held liable if there are no signs at this point. Tax payers could save money avoiding this potential liability. Please have some one contact me so I can show them what I see, if need be, but please get someone down there to install signage at that point. Thank you.

324 Hancock Street Quincy, MA - QuincyThis location is to demonstrate what The City of Quincy can do to eliminate costly sign posting vandalizm and tamering. The Walgreens Store at this location has a shroud about the base of the sign post preventing access to the nuts and bolts that connect the upper sign post to the embedded base. Over the years of my residency here in Quincy I have seen numerous instances of sign post having been tampered with throughout the City. If the City were to look into this shroud at this location on the Stop Sign on the Walgreen property it will find perhaps a perfect solution, modifiable, for City Signage Security and Protection, and, Cost Reduction purposes. Please pass this on to those who may be frustrated by the numerous incidences of vandalizm of sign posts and I feel confident that the tax payers and those who rely on signage for a safe and fluid journey in, about and through Quincy will be glad you did. Thank you for hepling me help the City of Quincy become a better place to live, work and play!

Abandoned Parking Sign AcknowledgedFayette Street Quincy, MA - QuincySometime ago I reported that this sign was a danger to public safety due to a missing bolt. Since then the sign and post have been removed, but the embedded stub is still there presenting a continued hazard since it could cause sever bodily injury or death, if someone were to fall on it - it stands about a foot out of the sidewalk. I would like to see the sign replaced immediately since it's been a month or more since it's been gone. In addition, i realize that this situation is a problem for us since the attachment method is tamperable and thus leaves us the problem. Perhaps we could solve this type of problem once and for all time, if we took another look at how we make these connections and either find a readymade solution or invent one and sell it to the rest of the world - now there's an idea! How 'bout we, as the City, create an innovation entity that would facilitate citizen participation - like an MIT LAB sort of thing - creating products for Municipaliies!!! My brother did that in NYC years ago as a NYC Housing Authority Superintendent. Let's do this!! Yeah!

Call For Perminent Trash Recepticles Acknowledged1 Billings Rd Quincy, MA - QuincyAt this location and on the other side of the tracks, given the foot traffic crossing over the MBTA rails and the food services on either side, there should be perminent, perhaps a couple BigBelly, trash recepticles to accomodate the well intended citizen who would like to disgard their trash but cannot, and, perhaps encourage the not so well intend to so also. If recepticles were there today I would have had the chance to properly disgard the trash I picked up along the way between Hancock and the rails. In addition, this area (especially on Billings) could have a more pleasant look and feel, if the City and Businesses were to realize the potential for themselves and passersby (Lets get them together on this). Please, at least put some receptilces year round for us so we can participate in helping to up hold a Cleaner - Greener Quincy. Thank you.
