Montreal commercial moves planned around site access, dock timing, phased work, and reopening needs.
Latest source review: September 27, 2026. Individual access dates appear below.
Street access
Since October 4, 2025, vehicle access is restricted on Sainte-Catherine Ouest between Saint-Laurent and De Bleury, and on Balmoral between Mayor and Sainte-Catherine Ouest. The order allows deliveries Monday to Friday, 7–10 a.m., and separately permits specified municipal and Quartier des Spectacles operational vehicles at all times; it does not itself authorize a move.[1]
Vehicle
Montréal’s trucking guidance states that half of Québec’s intercity truck trips pass through the island. Truckers must follow specific rules and a designated street network; consult the official trucking map for the planned route.[2][3]
Street access
Montréal distinguishes pedestrian streets, where road-vehicle access is restricted subject to authorized exceptions, from shared streets, where vehicles may circulate at up to 20 km/h and pedestrians have priority. Check each street’s signs and permit rules.[4][5]
Permit
In Westmount, a non-residential move that occupies a street, sidewalk, municipal lot, public lane or other city property needs a permit from the Engineering Department, requested at least 72 hours (3 days) ahead; fees depend on the request.[6][7]
Vehicle
A Québec mover that uses a heavy vehicle (gross vehicle weight rating of 4,500 kg or more) must be registered in the Commission des transports du Québec's register of heavy vehicle owners and operators (RPEVL).[8][9][10]
Bulky items
Montreal's curbside bulky-item and construction-debris collection is for private individuals only; businesses must hire a private company, and residents who ignore the Info-collectes schedule or set-out rules can be fined.[11][12]

In Ville-Marie, a moving-truck permit is required to post no-parking signs, use metered spaces, move on a pedestrian street or place a container for a move abroad. Parking in legal free spaces without signs needs no permit provided the sidewalk is not obstructed.
Rue Sainte-Catherine Ouest between rue Peel and rue Saint-Marc is being rebuilt section by section from summer 2025 to fall 2030; the city publishes maps of the work-zone obstructions and commercial delivery zones.
