REPORT OF CITY PLANNING BOARD
REPORT OF CITY PLANNING BOARD
To His Honor the Mayor and Members of the City Council.
GENTLEMEN :- We are prepared to report at this time that a comprehensive city plan upon a scale of 700 feet to the inch has been prepared, covering recommendations of the past years and is available for reference.
Upon it will be found the various studies which we have urgently suggested adoption of in previous reports.
The center section comprising an area within a radius of one mile from City Hall is enclosed herewith.
The possibilities of more direct thoroughfares to the west are being studied and skirting the rock bound ridge of Pine Hill at its extreme north and south terminals.
Acquiring of the so-called Stratton lot at Atlantic for a recrea- tion ground is recommended, providing the Hall playground can be taken over possibly for school purposes and the playground at At- lantic Station retained for the use of children or for a preserved open space at a reasonable distance from existing streets.
By the tabulation following it will be noted that a total of 250,000 persons use the very narrow and dangerous footway between the Quincy station and Granite street during the year. With the in- creased population west of the tracks we advise that the possi- bility of two double turnstiles for outbound passengers be taken up with the railroad, pending the putting in of its required subway under the tracks near the depot.
The Board has considered several possible sites for a new City Hall location and admits that from all points of view and the re- quirements of accessibility and civic grouping it is not prepared at this time to definitely make favorable report.
For the foot traffic tabulation we are indebted to the garage attendants at Granite street and to representatives of the N. Y., N. H. & H. R. R., who made the twenty-four hour count possible.
Tables of the origin and destination investigation were very care- fully prepared by an expert.
Cooperation of the Quincy Chamber of Commerce the past year has been very helpful and our membership upon the City Traffic Committee we hope has been of useful aid.
Respectfully submitted,
CITY PLANNING BOARD,
WILSON MARSH, Chairman, JAMES E. W. GEARY, Vice Chairman, THEO. J. CRAIG, WILLIAM CHAPMAN, JAMES J. MCPHILLIPS.

The high point in the traffic count was reached at Hancock street between 8.00 and 8.30 in the morning. when the total regis- tered 1,063 cars or 32 per minute.
Washington street tabulation traffic in both directions showed between 4.30 and 5.00 P. M. a total of 770 cars or about one car a second.
At the Fore River bridge on Washington street when the bridge was open for five minutes 117 cars were held up. Again during the opening of the drawbridge for ten minutes 318 cars were held up.
A comparison of the Hancock street traffic which would make a total of 28,800 for sixteen hours is interesting as compared with the Planning Board record of June 5, 1926, of 23,305 for the same period of time.
On Washington street a total of 15,912 upon the above count is to be compared with the Planning Board report of 1926 count- ing 9,749 cars.

The Board organized on March 3, 1927, and re-elected Mr. Wil- liam G. Shaw as Chairman for the ensuing year.
On March 18th the Board gave a hearing on the petition of John J. McFadden for the acceptance of a street or way northerly from Adams Street, near Greenwood Avenue, and the following letter to Mr. McFadden will give the action taken by the Board:
Mr. John J. McFadden, 19 Hodges Avenue, Quincy, Mass.
DEAR SIR :- The Board of Survey considered your plan for a pro- posed street from Adams Street and 200 feet from the easterly line of Greenwood Avenue and they thought they could not accept the street as shown on plan, and would suggest that your plan and a plan of the land just easterly be worked out together to the advantage of both owners and that the Board would reserve its decision until such time as that could be done.
Please let the Board know what you think of this suggestion.
Yours respectfully,
PATRICK F. O'BRIEN, Clerk of the Board.

REPORT OF ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT
REPORT OF ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT
JANUARY 1, 1928.
To His Honor, the Mayor and Members of the City Council :
DEAR SIRS :- I herewith respectfully submit the twenty-eighth annual report of the Engineering Department for the year ending December 31, 1927.
Lines and grades were given on about 120 streets as requested by property owners and builders.
Assessors' Plans
During the year approximately 4,650 real estate transfers were issued and 1,400 permits for new buildings, all of which had to be correctly placed on the Assessors' Plans.
New Streets 1927
An unusually large number of streets were accepted during the year. Public hearings were held on 95 streets and 58 were ac- cepted as public streets.
The Public Works Department built 30 streets at an expense of $160,000, which gave employment to a large number of men.
The Public Works Department not being equipped to build all the streets accepted, it was decided to build some of them by con- tract. Bids were received and contract awarded to Coleman Bros. of Boston, the lowest bidder.
Nineteen streets were let out by contract and were finished before the end of the year, except three, Milton Road, Sharon Road, and part of Edwin Street, which were built on marsh land, and the macadam surface will not be put on until the filling has had time to settle.
The total miles of streets built in 1927 is six miles.
See schedule of new streets.
Streets Rebuilt 1927
There was a total of 4.18 miles of city streets rebuilt during the year.
For itemized list see schedule.
Sewer
Lines and grades were given on 5.12 miles of sewers which were built during the year. This work required the services of one party (three men) the entire year.
For schedule see report of Commissioner of Public Works.
244
CITY OF QUINCY
Drains
The drainage question is an important one and the cause of complaints after storms at all seasons of the year.
The Highway Department built the drains in the streets that they constructed and the contractors built the drains included in their contract.
The drainage of the Montclair swamp, so called, was let out by contract to A. G. Tomasello & Sons, Inc., the lowest bidder.
A 36-inch concrete pipe was laid from Wilson Avenue, through Taylor Street, Hobart Street to Beimont Street to the edge of the swamp.
An open ditch for a length of 1,200 feet was built through the swamp, which will lower the water level in the swamp about 6 feet.
The drainage of Milton Road, Sharon Road and Edwin Street required piling foundation, the location being through a salt marsh.
The last installment of the 24-inch drain in Faxon Field was placed, which required a piling foundation. The surface drainage of the field will lead to the manholes connected with this drain, and the water be carried off to the Town River Bay.
See schedule of drains built.
Granolithic Sidewalks 1927
Bids were received for the construction of granolithic sidewalks and the contract was awarded to Michael E. Shay & Company. Work was stared in July and continued to December 1, 1927.
Walks were built on 57 streets, a length of 24,217 feet.
See schedule of granolithic walks.
Amiesite Sidewalks
Amiesite sidewalks were built on 6,120 feet of sidewalks. For itemized list see schedule.
Elimination of Grade Crossings
Another chapter on the question of the elimination of grade crossings on the N. Y., N. H. & H. R. R. Co. has been enacted. The Superior Court has been applied to, asking the railroad company to show cause why the decree of the court, ordering the elimina- tion of the grade crossings, should not be carried out.
Hearings were held in Boston, and the question was referred to the Court at Dedham, and at present no decision has been reached.
Zoning
During the year 1927 the Quincy Chamber of Commerce took up the question of zoning, and by inviting the public, by notice in the local press, to express their views on the question, a new plan was made which was submitted to the Mayor and City Council, who will take the matter up again and try to adopt a Zoning Ordinance that will be satisfactory.
For financial statement see Auditor's report.
Respectfully submitted,
PATRICK F. O'BRIEN, City Engineer.
