Quincy council approves B Street Northeast variance
QUINCY — Quincy City Council members have approved a variance for two blocks of B Street Northeast, ending long-standing discussions about the street and a repaving project that narrowed it. Some residents and business owners along that section of the street said in their opinion the repaving project narrowed it too much. The variance was approved on a 5-1 vote, with council member Dave Dormaier voting no. Council member Josey Ferguson did not vote. After the vote Mayor Paul Worley said city employees will be looking to see if there’s any way to alleviate some of the concerns with B Street. The city’s 2024 budget includes money for preliminary design work on A Street Northeast, the next block over.
