As city workers clear the streets of debris and Hydro-Québec crews replace fallen wires, Mayor Valérie Plante is asking residents to be ready to move their vehicles to make way.

Normal parking rules, the mayor said, would resume on Saturday, April 8. It's not a free-for-all, however. There are still limitations.
