TROUT RIVER — Residents and business owners in Trout River are concerned that their town could become another Port aux Basques if something isn’t done to ...
Waves that are increasing in strength and size are continuing to damage to the boardwalk along Main Street in Trout River and more and more are coming up over the road putting the businesses and homes there is danger. Residents fear the town will suffer the same fate as Port aux Basques if something is not done. This picture was taken during the weekend of Feb. 4.
It’s something Brake said they know is going to happen because it happens every winter and it happens every fall and spring when the town gets wind from hurricanes. It’s just gotten worse over the last few years. “Our beach is now on an angle, so this is basically the reason why we’ve seen a lot more damage in the past few years because essentially what we’ve created is a ramp.”The armour stone gets washed out, the ground around the boardwalk gets washed out and the boardwalk is left with no protection from the waves that are getting stronger and extending their reach.
Brake knows that getting funding can’t happen with the “click of the finger” but said there has to be some sort of disaster relief fund that could provide the money. “It’s certainly going to be terrible at some point and people are going to lose their homes. They’re going to lose their businesses and possibly their lives.”
