Montreal launches special snow removal operation Friday night
Posted February 14, 2025 12:26 pm.
The City of Montreal has announced the start of a special snow clearing operation on priority and strategic routes after 34 centimeters of snow fell on the city Thursday.
This operation comes ahead of another significant snowstorm expected in the next 36 hours.
The snow clearing will begin at 7 p.m. on Friday night. The focus will be on quickly and partially clearing access to major roadways, strategic institutions, emergency services, and narrow streets. The goal is to clear as many kilometers of the road network as possible in preparation for the upcoming snowstorm expected on Sunday.
Residents are urged to stay updated and take simple actions that can help accelerate snow removal efforts.
To assist in speeding up the snow removal process, residents are asked to respect parking bans and ensure that sidewalks are clear of any obstructions. Trash bags and bins should be left on personal property to avoid hindering snow clearing.
Additionally, the City of Montreal encourages residents to visit the snow removal section of the official website, which provides resources such as a map to locate available parking spaces, the Info Neige Montréal app to track snow removal progress, and the INFO-Towing system to help locate towed vehicles. Residents can also subscribe to Alert Notices to stay informed about snow clearing operations in their area.
