Snow Removal Operations

The Sainte-Anne-de-Bellevue Public Works department is in charge of organizing and carrying out snow removal operations. 

During snow loading operations, the teams may proceed with the installation of temporary parking prohibition signs the day before its crews pass on a given street. In order to facilitate the work and prevent your car from being towed, please follow the signage.

For the safety of all, never leave snow near or on a fire hydrant. Its perimeter must always remain clear within 1.5 m (5 feet).

 

INFO-SNOW

At the October 15, 2019 Council meeting, City Council decided to make permanent the pilot project to allow overnight parking when weather conditions permit.

The decision to lift the ban or not will depend on weather conditions and snow removal operations planned by the Public Works Department.

It is the responsibility of every vehicle owner to check daily for updates before parking their car during the ban period. If the ban is not lifted, the current regulation is applied and offenders are subject to the fines set out in Parking By-law 769.

 

Overnight Parking Regulations

From December 1st to March 31st, it is strictly forbidden to park a road vehicle on public roads:

This ban is also valid for parking sticker holders during this period.

You may park your vehicle in any of the authorized public parking lots during permitted hours (see parking signs). Notwithstanding the preceding, no vehicle may be parked for more than 48 hours in the same spot.

In the absence of notice, it is forbidden to park at night in all the streets of Sainte-Anne-de-Bellevue to allow effective snow removal. Snow removal operations remain a priority at night parking.

How will the City enforce the regulation?

Municipal Patrol and SPVM officers are authorized to issue tickets to owners who do not comply with the by-law.


We ask every residents and visitors for their collaboration during or after a snowfall, even during the day. As long as the snow removal has not been completed, please avoid parking your vehicle on the street as much as possible, instead you can use the free parking lots. You help to facilitate snow removal operations and improve their quality!

Waste Collection

In the event of a snowstorm, please keep an eye on our newsletters and social media to see if collections are going to take place as planned. They may be postponed to facilitate snow removal.

We remind you that your bins must be placed at the curb before 7 am on the day of collection, the wheels facing your residence. Please ensure that the bins are visible and positioned 1 m (3 feet) from the edge of the street or sidewalk so as not to impede traffic or snow removal.

Safety Instructions

It is strictly forbidden to push, throw or deposit snow or ice from their land or lot, on the public domain. Be sure to notify your contractor. Offenders will be fined. 

Also, monitor the condition of your roof so that no accumulation of snow or ice can come off and cause an accident.

For safety reasons, do not let children play near the curb or the street. While playing, they could slip on the road. At all times, watch this type of games during the winter.
