Overview
- Crews are dismantling the snow pile at 90 Washington Street and have uncovered several municipal vehicles, including a partially embedded dump truck.
- The city counts six vehicles that ended up under the pile, and officials say all were out of service and awaiting disposal.
- Public works leaders say back-to-back winter storms left few places to put snow, so they chose not to divert crews or pay to tow nonworking cars.
- A viral Reddit photo drew crowds to the lot, though the city says the extraction work was already planned.
- The four-acre site has a contested eminent-domain history and is now being offered for mixed-use redevelopment, with a public meeting set for April 22.
