Brewer's Corner Neighborhood Improvement Project
This project— funded with a combination of Federal Community Development Block Grant and Energy Efficiency Conservation Block Grant (EECBG) funds—entails the implementation of a package of public infrastructure improvements in the Brewer’s Corner neighborhood of Quincy. The current design plan—completed by Woodard and Curran—calls for the installation of new LED traffic signals, associated geometric improvements, pavement markings and pedestrian amenities at the Copeland Street/Water Street/ Granite Street/Garfield Street intersection. Further, the design plans call for sidewalk and curb reconstruction, ADA compliant ramps, associated roadway resurfacing at this intersection, several treeways, and neighborhood amenities like benches, flower pots, etc.
Construction is slated to begin in early spring and will be completed in two phases. The bulk of the infrastructure work will be completed over the course of this summer.

Bicycle Parking Plan
In order to take advantage of The Metropolitan Area Planning Council (MAPC) BikeRack Reimbursement Program for 2009, the Quincy Department of Planning and Community Development has purchased 34 bike racks.
The 34 racks have been installed on public properties throughout the City including the Germantown Neighborhood Center, North Quincy Branch of the Thomas Crane Public Library, and Pagnano Towers (Quincy Housing Authority). The locations were identified in a Bicycle Parking Study conducted by the Planning Department in 2008.
