Taken from the Boardwalk they show the stone and wood channel dividers nearly submerged. At low tide, you can see nearly 8 ft below this line. At high tide at least 3 or 4 feet are often visible.[/cs_text][x_image type=”none” src=”https://quay.white-shirt.ca/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/20180518_084736.jpg” alt=”” link=”false” href=”#” title=”” target=”” info=”none” info_place=”top” info_trigger=”hover” info_content=””][cs_text]The image above shows Queensborough’s rocky shoreline nearly submerged. The white sign visible in the centre of the image is usually many metres above the normal water level.[/cs_text][x_image type=”none” src=”https://quay.white-shirt.ca/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/20180518_084919.jpg” alt=”” link=”false” href=”#” title=”” target=”” info=”none” info_place=”top” info_trigger=”hover” info_content=””][cs_text]If you look closely at the centre of this image you will note that the city has already started to put orange signs up closing the boardwalk. If you look just under the tree branch you can see that the water level is nearly touching the boardwalk. A large tug could easily cause waves big enough to crest the boardwalk platform.[/cs_text][/cs_column][/cs_row][/cs_section][/cs_content]
