City Hall is putting out a call to local companies and colleges for ideas on how to deal with the massive amounts of snow piling up on the streets and sidewalks of the city.
"The Mayor's Office of New Urban Mechanics is seeking new and innovative ways to deal with the unprecedented amount of snow Boston has received this winter. They've reached out to professors from local universities and companies in the state's innovation economy," said Bonnie McGilpin, a spokeswoman for Mayor Martin J. Walsh.
The call for help comes as more than 77 inches of snow has fallen on the city. At least three communities have applied for environmental waivers to dump snow in bodies of water, but Walsh hasn't yet. He said the city's snow melters are liquefying 430 tons of snow every hour.
New Urban Mechanics is the office responsible for the City Hall Christmas Tree that changed colors based on tweets and an effort to make City Hall a more pleasant building. While the amount of snow on the ground may be unprecedented in recorded Boston history, the notion of mayors reaching out to local universities for help with the snow has a precedent.
"I am very desirous that the Institute of Technology have a competent group of engineers make an immediate study as to ways and means of removing the huge accumulation not only in Boston, but throughout the entire state, whether it be by the use of flame throwers or chemicals or otherwise," Mayor James Michael Curley wrote to MIT in 1948.
Anyone with ideas can contact New Urban Mechanics at newurbanmechanics@boston.gov.
