Montreal Mechanized Pothole Sealing Records with Georeferencing Since 2016

The City of Montreal's Road Network Infrastructure Service (SIRR) has recorded mechanized pothole sealing work since December 2016. This dataset includes georeferenced locations and timestamps for repairs conducted by the central service, excluding borough-level activities. The data is published by the Government and Municipalities of Québec under a CC-BY-4.0 license and was last updated in April 2026.

Use Cases

• Map pothole repair density and patterns based on georeferenced location data.
• Analyze seasonal or temporal trends in road maintenance based on the recorded timestamps.
• Assess the coverage and workload of centralized mechanized repair crews versus borough-level operations.
• Integrate with other municipal GIS layers for infrastructure planning and budget allocation.

Strengths

• Includes georeferenced coordinates for precise spatial analysis.
• Contains temporal data starting from a specific date (December 2016).
• Published under a permissive CC-BY-4.0 license for reuse.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Excludes repair activities carried out by boroughs, providing an incomplete view of total city maintenance.
