Montreal Snow Removal Dashboard
How to use this tool
Browse the interactive charts to explore City of Montreal snow removal data. Filter by season to compare costs, truck transactions, and snowfall amounts across different winters. The dashboard pulls from Montreal's open data portal and shows how the city's snow removal budget has evolved over time, including contract values and operational volumes.
Why it matters
Montreal spends hundreds of millions of dollars on snow removal every winter, making it one of the largest municipal snow removal operations in the world. Understanding these costs helps residents appreciate the scale of winter maintenance and provides context for property tax discussions. The data also reveals trends: rising costs per centimetre of snow, the impact of mild versus harsh winters on the city budget, and how different boroughs manage their snow removal operations.
