Description
When the Quincy Adams station was built, there was an entrance on Independence Avenue.
That entrance is now closed, so people who need to go to the area east of the station have an unnecessary 25-minute walk, or an equally long bus trip, to get to the station a few feet from where they started.
Most neighborhoods, even in Boston, aren't lucky enough to be next to a T station. It's a big waste to provide T service to this area and then prevent people from using it because of a single locked gate.

This issue is raised frequently by our South Shore customers. The gate is locked at the request of the City of Quincy. Too many people were parking on side streets near the gate to avoid paying the parking fee at Quincy Adams Station and clogging the neighborhood. As a result, the neighbors contacted their elected officials and we were asked to keep the gate closed and locked.
You may want to contact Quincy City Hall.
Thank you for writing.
