Story of a storm

On the century biggest snowstorm so far, Ahuntsic-Cartierville received 52,2 cm of snow while the city of Montreal got an average of 45 cm. It is the measurement station, located in Ahuntsic, that provides this precise data, said Louis Lapointe, head of the Public Works of the borough. The storm has cost $2 632 000 in snow removal. The snow clearing ended eleven days after the storm of December 27th. The main roads were the first ones to be cleared. Then, it was the turn of the buses traveling roads, street surrounding hospitals, retirement home, CHSLD and schools. The residential streets were last.

New schedule for snow removal

This winter, residents of Bordeaux-Cartierville located West of highway 15 will need to pay attention to their new schedule of snow clearing. Snow removal services are extending late into the night. To avoid being towed, residents will have to follow the schedules marked on the orange street signs, installed the day before at 3 PM or 8 PM.
