This location is to demonstrate what The City of Quincy can do to eliminate costly sign posting vandalizm and tamering. The Walgreens Store at this location has a shroud about the base of the sign post preventing access to the nuts and bolts that connect the upper sign post to the embedded base. Over the years of my residency here in Quincy I have seen numerous instances of sign post having been tampered with throughout the City. If the City were to look into this shroud at this location on the Stop Sign on the Walgreen property it will find perhaps a perfect solution, modifiable, for City Signage Security and Protection, and, Cost Reduction purposes. Please pass this on to those who may be frustrated by the numerous incidences of vandalizm of sign posts and I feel confident that the tax payers and those who rely on signage for a safe and fluid journey in, about and through Quincy will be glad you did. Thank you for hepling me help the City of Quincy become a better place to live, work and play!

Thank you for the tip Hawkeye. I will perform a site visit and take a look at exactly what you're talking about. It could be the case that bases such as this one are very costly when considered as a city-wide solution.
So that you know, I have been out of the office the past two weeks as my wife and I had our first child. I see some of the comments from others on the site indicating that they think they City no longer pays attention to this site, which is not the case at all. There are things in life that take our eye off the ball, and a new baby is one of them. But rest assured, I am back.

This is definitely a good option to reduce tampering. Thankfully, the problem you describe is not widespread.
Our traffic department purchases tamper resistant materials right now (nuts/bolts etc.) These bases are costly when considered as a city-wide solution, but we will certainly look into them as an alternative for new installations in highly trafficked areas, especially in the downtown.
