Temporary Parking Lot at Montreal-Trudeau Airport - South Snow Depot Site

Official title: YUL Montreal-Trudeau International Airport - Construction of a temporary parking lot - South Snow Depot (P10)

Closed Environmental Assessment Environment & Climate Transportation
Montreal's airport authority wants to build a temporary 700-space parking lot on half of its south snow depot site in Dorval. The lot would operate for 5 years to make up for parking spaces lost elsewhere. Construction includes paving and a stormwater management system.

Why This Matters

Fly out of Montreal-Trudeau regularly? This project aims to keep parking available while other lots are under construction. Nearby residents on English Avenue may see more traffic and construction activity.

What Could Change

If approved, the airport could convert half of its snow storage area into a paved parking lot for up to 5 years. New stormwater infrastructure would be installed to handle runoff from the paved surface.

Key Issues

  • Should the airport be allowed to convert snow storage land into temporary parking?
  • Are the proposed stormwater management measures adequate?
