Montreals Winter Pothole Battle: City Unveils New Plan to Fix Roads
Montreal is stepping up its fight against potholes, following a record number of complaints this winter. The city plans to buy two new automated repair machines, create two dedicated teams, and allocate six million dollars for repairs. However, the new machines and teams wont start until next year.
In the meantime, the city conducted an eight-day repair blitz with private contractors, patching fifteen thousand potholes. Officials acknowledge this is a temporary solution, as warmer weather could exacerbate the problem. The citys current machines have been fragile, with two sidelined for repairs.
Leaders aim for better long-term solutions, with the new teams focusing on main streets, predicting costs, and avoiding past issues. Mayor Soraya Martinez Ferrada recently visited South Korea to explore innovative ideas, such as a starfish-based additive to reduce road salt corrosion.
The city plans to resurface sixty-seven kilometers of streets this summer, targeting areas like Notre-Dame Street East and Papineau Avenue. Opposition members support the new plan but advocate for more paving over just filling holes for lasting results.
