Snow removal and street parking in Pierrefonds-Roxboro during wintertime
Our teams are hard at work clearing snow from our borough’s streets, sidewalks and bike paths. Whatever the operation, your cooperation is always appreciated. Find out more about our winter operations!
Snow removal operations
Operation
Here is how the operations are carried out:
- We spread salt and crushed stone as soon as the roads and pavements are slippery;
- The snow is cleared when there is an accumulation of at least 2.5 cm on pavements and streets;
- We load the snow when there is an accumulation of 10 to 15 cm.
These operations are carried out continuously until the streets and pavements are clear and safe. The amount of snowfall, weather conditions and equipment failures can slow down the pace of operations.
Priorities
Priority 1: Major arteries, major commercial streets, priority bus routes and reserved lanes, very narrow streets, etc., for a total of 27 km. Examples include Pierrefonds, Saint-Jean, and des Sources boulevards.
Priority 2: Collector roads, local commercial streets, regular bus routes, etc., for a total of 20 km. Examples include Pavillon, Sainte-Anne, and Perron streets.
Priority 3: Local streets for a total of 214 km. Examples include: Baldwin, Helene, Deauville streets.
Eco-Friendly snow clearing on select paths
As you stroll through the Pierrefonds-Roxboro parks, you may notice certain snow-cleared paths that are free from salt and abrasives. This initiative is designed to reduce environmental impact and protect our ecosystems while still providing clear trails for walkers. Find out more about this initiative in our article.
Material damage caused by snow removal operations
If damage is caused to your property as a result of a snow clearing operation, you can file a claim with the City of Montréal.
On-street parking
No overnight parking
In Pierrefonds-Roxboro, as of November 1st, night parking on the streets is prohibited between 1 a.m. and 7 a.m., until April 1st inclusively because of the winter season.
On-street parking prohibited during snow accumulations
In the event of snow accumulation of more than 2.5 cm, on-street parking is prohibited throughout Pierrefonds-Roxboro until the end of operations announced by the borough. This rule applies even during the day. You must park your vehicle in your private driveway.
It is essential to respect this winter by-law. Parking officers will patrol the territory to ensure enforcement and issue tickets if necessary.
- Shovel the snow on your property
It is forbidden to unload, push or throw snow on the road and pavements. This also applies to the contractor you have hired to clear your driveway. Remember that you are responsible for their snow removal work.
- Respect the collection schedule by placing your bin at the edge of your property and not on the pavement
Place your garbage, recycling and waste bins at the curb at the appropriate time so that they do not interfere with operations.
- Park your vehicle in your private driveway and not on the public road
In order to allow snow to be cleared from your street and to facilitate the passage of snow removal trucks, park your car in your private driveway.If this is the case for you, you must be extra vigilant and make sure you respect the daytime parking bans that are automatically in effect when snow accumulates over 2.5 cm.
- Leave a safe space behind convoys
Make sure you are seen by drivers before crossing the road, whether you are a cyclist, pedestrian or motorist. As a general rule, be courteous, vigilant and patient!
- Follow local communications
