The city of Montreal announced on Monday that street cleaning and pothole repair operations will begin across its territory on Tuesday.

Stressing that the work will be carried out in accordance with the health protocols sparked by the COVID-19 outbreak, city officials say cleaning and pothole repair will start on major thoroughfares such as Sherbrooke St. and René-Levésque Blvd. as well as bicycle paths and sidewalks, before moving to secondary streets in neighbourhoods.

Parking restrictions on those secondary streets have been postponed until May 1.

Pothole repair will be carried out day and night and will be scheduled to avoid creating traffic jams. The city estimates it repairs 200,000 potholes annually.

Citizens who want to report the presence of potholes in their area are urged to call 311.

The city notes that pothole repair is contingent on weather conditions that are dry and not too cold.
