The City of Montreal is set to commence its fifth snow removal operation, scheduled to begin at 7 p.m. on Tuesday.

“Nearly 3,000 people and 2,500 snow removal vehicles will take part in loading operations on the approximately 11,000 kilometres of the municipal network,” officials note. “Close attention will be paid to sidewalks to facilitate active transportation.”

People are being asked to stay informed and look out for notices from their local boroughs.

Some measures to keep in mind, according to the city, to facilitate operations:

• Respect parking restrictions: they will be lifted once loading is completed.
• Clear sidewalks of bulky items and leave garbage bags and bins on your property.
• A total of 8,223 parking spaces are set to be available between 9 p.m. and 7 a.m.

Anyone wanting to keep track of the snow removal operation in real time is invited to download the 311 Montréal app.
