Adopt a Fire Hydrant on Google Maps
Here's a cool idea to ensure that fire hydrants remain accessible even when there is heavy snow.
Adopt-a-Hydrant lets anyone in Boston sign up to volunteer to clear a specific fire hydrant in the city when there is heavy snowfall. To adopt a fire hydrant users just need to click on its map marker and complete a short form.
On the usability front it is a bit annoying that the zoom control has been removed and that scroll-wheel zooming is also disabled on the map.
