Montreal is snowing at 56 % per week after the start in a good and proper form of snow removal operations in the metropolis after two important winter storms that covered the white leaf of a part of Quebec.
The schedule of seven days before the end of the removal of snow is still held, he said in a press briefing on Monday in front of Montreal, Valéry Plante. “The goal remains the same,” she said. Until now, there is no change ”.
However, it is possible for various factors such as new snowfall, breaking equipment or large amounts of towing, whether the schedule is reviewed later, notes the administrative spokesman of the city Philippe Sabourin. Despite these variables, “we are sure to achieve our goal,” he said.
Monday also means renewing waste collection in all neighborhoods. He was suspended after the testing of the test week ago.
Operations “can be difficult”, but the city wants to collect, says Sabourin. This is especially the case of streets that have not been loaded from one or the other. “It can be a bit of a bush, we like it. »»
“We are impossible to pick up all the baskets,” he said. What you ask (citizens) is that if a loading operation occurs, keep your bags and baskets near the house, never in snow benches. And if the other side of the street was loaded, it would be really appreciated if I just put it on the other side of the street to prevent us from passing through the snow bench. It will give us a hand. »»
In the districts where the collection is carried out in two weeks, it will be carried out this week, even if it was not planned.
“Marathon”
“What we do is not a sprint is a marathon,” said Philippe Sabourin, recalling the importance of safety in operation. By continuing the links to the race, Montreal was in the “second breath” that helped several factors. In particular, a milder temperature that accelerates the process of snow loading and increasing the fleet of snow transport by 30 %.
“You will tell me that it would be good to have 50 or 60 % more, but it is not possible. There is a limit that can be achieved to ensure that there are no obstacles at the entrance to our site (deposits), “Mr. Sabourin explains before ensuring that a 30 % increase” gives us French elbows “.
“We really have the unlimited elimination capacity and rolls as much as possible with ascending temperatures,” said Philippe Sabourin, quoting an example of Fullum Sewer Fall, where he was expressed next to the mayor.
“For sewer falls, the worse it is, the less the water is cold, the more snow is melted,” he dissected than he added that these falls were “very practical” for districts such .
As for approximately 970 streets, which were tested on Friday, because there could not be orbited emergency services, their number was reduced to approximately 230 at the weekend. And it will allow the passage of our fire trucks again, “said Philippe Sabourin. “And if the fire truck passes, the drain car is also. »»
