“And then you got debris that blocks the so-called entrance of the culvert, which stays there. And these are such small culverts too.”He says the combination of all those factors creates a dangerous situation in the town. “They're too small. You look at it and they are probably rusted out too. I don't even know if they're clear all the way through.”He points to communities like Cape St. George, where recent social media videos depicted entire culverts being washed away after heavy rainfall events. Park fears Lark Harbour could very well be next.
Park says trucks may soon start refusing to travel to the community. Lark Harbour doesn’t have a fish plant of its own and processes most of its catch at the fish plant in Curling. “The residents get on the council’s case and we got to say it's not our roads, that it's. It's not the town's responsibility. We just represent the people and say, look, we're pushing for it. We're just as much frustrated as what they are,” says Park.
Abbott says the province has been making good progress on culvert upgrades and says that the quality of culverts has also been increasing.
