A lil of the subject, but as long as we’re going to Burgin Pkwy… How about Granite Connector? There is one exit from Star Market’s parking lot, and when the light is red, it’s a nightmare to try to get out, even if you try to go left to Granite Street. How about this?? Take out the island and make it 3 lanes? Right lane would be right turn only. Traffic on Burgin pkwy gets a green arrow(going north), so when this arrow is on, let the traffic turn right onto Burgin, relieving some of the traffic on the Connector.

Great concept, and many thanks for taking the effort to publish it; I’m sure other readers benefited as wel. It really opened my eyes for some new conclusions that I hadn’t thought of before.

I am hoping the renovations catch on in North Quincy. Just moved here from the city, lots of young professionals are now too, due to lower costs here than in the city. Let’s get some cafes (for the throngs of commuters hitting up the N.Quincy T who would love a coffee on their way to work), walkable destinations, community gardens. That little strip on Hancock needs some help near Hannafords. It just seems like there is a new population of young professionals moving in that could def. be hit to boost the economy and who would love to support local business. The young city folk definitely have their eyes on Quincy.

Is it true that they’re planning on knocking down over a hundred homes in Quincy Point to make way for the world’s largest water slide?

Looking at the plans, the parking for access to some of the public spaces is not evident. Also, it needs to be easy and SAFE for Quincy residents in the surrounding neighborhoods to WALK to the center. This would help ameliorate parking and pollution problems. Right now some neighborhoods are isolated from walking to downtown due to busy highways. A walking city has a better chance of long term survival through resident access. I wish the waterfront area around CVS on the Southern Artery could be opened up more. Then you could have a direct pathway to oceanfront which would be a big draw and would enchance attractiveness.

I encourage everyone to visit my site Clean Up Quincy to voice their comments/concerns about the redevelopment along with any other issues in the city of Quincy, MA. I will do my best to make sure that your voice is heard and that important issues are dealt with directly.

When I had a look at the plans, it looked to me like a tall building was planned to go behind the Granite Trust building. If this is the case, it should be reconsidered. This is why: This skyline is a unique part of the character of this city. You can especially appreciate it when viewed from Crown Colony and driving on Burgin Parkway to the square. If you haven’t seen it from these perspectives, do so and see what I mean.

There is no person on the city council or in the mayor’s office that is qualified to oversee a billion dollar project.

Remember the shipyard?

The site is up & what an ambitious plan it is. Huge amounts of money and time are involved. The plan is more of the ideal “Quincy Center”, not the current reality that one sees on an everyday basis. Many of you have a point, however lets agree that improvement is needed. Covering the MBTA from Adams Street to the Harold bridge (as East Milton Square did over 93) is a very good idea. Negativity runs deep here in Massachusetts due to years of enduring harsh winters, I should know.. We have to think: What is the alternative, old empty storefronts that are not getting any younger, what is the best use for the land? Do you want Pawn shops, closeout stores, tattoo parlors, and more Dollar General, & Job Lots? -drawing more nanny state zombie trainwrecks to the city. I have an idea, close Fr. Bill’s ! Home of many sex offenders… Pay the facility to leave ! Find it in the budget.
