As a Quincy resident, I can’t blame him. Nobody in Quincy wants the bridge. Boston isn’t offering Quincy anything. I would personally support a bridge if Boston gave us year-round ferry access from Squantum to Boston or offered to help us connect our Riverwalk to the Harbor walk or something cool like that. Right now Boston is just like “build a bridge” and Koch is like “nah”. And that’s how it’s gonna keep going apparently lol

As someone who lived in Quincy - it is a shame and the state will step in.

So dream about ferries - but expect the state to put the hammer down...

Want edu funding? Open the island.

Potholes filled? Open the island.

But blocking access to an island that was providing services for a at-risk community that you seemly have had no exposure to (lucky you!) and with minimal impact to the city - is a total "Quincy MA" move....
