Nearly 3,000 workers and 2,500 snow removal vehicles will be deployed across roughly 11,000 kilometres of city streets.
The city says more than 8,200 parking spaces will be available overnight between 9 p.m. and 7 a.m., with parking bans lifted promptly once operations are complete.
Residents are being asked to follow parking restrictions, keep sidewalks clear of bulky items, and leave garbage bags and bins on their property. Motorists are also encouraged to park parallel to the curb, about 30 centimetres away, and fold in their mirrors to help speed up operations.
Montreal has also rolled out an updated version of its official mobile app, now called 311 Montréal, which includes real-time snow removal tracking. The free app allows users to receive alerts, view snow clearing maps, report issues such as slippery sidewalks or potholes, and locate towed vehicles.
The City of Montreal invites people to consult the snow removal section of their website.
