Snow removal operations – February 20, 2025 – UPDATE
The snow removal teams continue working to keep the roads clear for everyone’s safety.
To this day, on February 20, more than 45% of the territory has been cleared of snow.
The main areas that were cleared today are :
- Avenues Roslyn, Grosvenor and Lansdowne
- The south side of Rue Sainte-Catherine between Chemin Glen and the eastern side
- Avenue Hillside
- Chemin Edgehill
- Most of Chemin Belvedere
Snow loading will continue tomorrow with a reduced team due to the mandatory rest day for most drivers. 20 trucks and 2 snowblowers will be deployed on-site. The entire team will be returning on Saturday.

Residual materials collections
Please note that specific changes have had to be made to waste collections to facilitate snow removal operations. Consult this link for more information.
When parking your vehicle in the street, please watch for signs indicating parking restrictions and move your vehicle accordingly in advance of the snow loading. Parked vehicles that interfere with snow removal operations will be towed.
Please note that:
- throughout the winter, the City WILL NOT PHONE RESIDENTS IN ADVANCE to remind them to move their parked vehicles.
Pay attention to parking restrictions and MOVE YOUR VEHICLE before snow removal crews arrive. This makes a significant difference in the speed and efficiency of our loading operations.
Also important, post-snowstorm:
- Snow from private driveways and walkways may be added to the existing snow banks BEFORE their removal, but must never obstruct public sidewalks, lanes or streets. Fines may be levied on homeowners and/or contractors who contravene these regulations.
- It is the responsibility of property owners to inform their contractors of these rules.
- On collection days, keep all containers out of the path of street and sidewalk plows.
Your cooperation truly helps us do a better job. Thank you for your patience and understanding during these operations.
