Montreal has cleared 85 per cent of the snow that fell on the city over the past week, but don’t tell that to the residents of the Sud-Ouest. Just 36% of snow has been removed in the borough, a situation likely not helped by the fact that the city announced this week that it will end its snow-clearing contract with Les Pavages D’Amour Inc. at the end of the season.
The next-slowest snow removal award goes to LaSalle (66%), followed by Outremont (69%) and Côte-des-Neiges—Notre-Dame-de-Grâce (73%). Plateau Mont-Royal leads the pack with 97% of snow cleared.
One way or another, it’s all got to go, and a coming wave of milder weather may give things a push. Temperatures in the Montreal region are forecast to reach 4 degrees Celsius on Saturday, 5 degrees and showers on Sunday and 2 degrees on Monday, with the trend continuing through the week.
