Snow Removal: No Improvement!

We were disappointed to see that the snow removal for the most recent snow storm was performed with the same problems as previously, without any improvements.

1. The sidewalks are blocked by snow bancs created by the snow removal. Access to the bus shelter is made very difficult.

2. Several lampposts are broken following the snow removal. Worse, a complete row of lampposts is non-functional, which could be a major electrical issue.

The light still works but not the lid

The snow accumulations in the way of the tenants, the broken lampposts significantly reducing visibility in the evening, are recurring risks for tenants. Moreover, Rockhill must continually repair the broken lampposts and may potentially face fines from the city for their contractors obstructing the public side walk and shelter.

3. Snow is not being removed from the stairs behind building A:

We urge the Rockhill administration to change suppliers due to the complete lack of improvements, despite several warnings that have been given to them!

Severity:
Important - greatly affects quality of life
Status:
New - for discussion with the administration
Next meeting

Monday 9th of September 2024 at 7 PM

The Collective

Affected by the deterioration of the Rockhill Apartments in Montreal, some tenants began meeting in July 2023 to consider ways to address the situation.

From these meetings emerged the Rockhill Tenants Collective, a spontaneous group dedicated to upholding the rights of residents and the heritage value of this once upscale and avant-garde complex.
