Erosion problem studied BAYFIELD RATEPAYERS ASSOCIATION Spring Meeting Saturday, June 7 '86 at 9:30 A.M. in the Bayfield Community Centre LAKEFRONT EROSION CONTROL Steel Walls, Pilings, Groynes SERVING GRAND BEND - BAYFIELD - GODERICH & AREA By Shelley McPhee-Haist BAYFIELD - Council in this lakeside village are starting to take a hard look at the serious erosion problem along their Lake Huron banks. Councillor Jim Quick told council that they must address two main concerns in the near future, that of repairing the lake banks and determining how such work will be funded. "The Hill Terrace road allowance should be protected as fast as it can," he warned council at its June 2 meeting. Council agreed -to consider' -erosion -work along the road allowance -in conjunction with work being done by Pioneer Park Association. 1 The association is contemplating further erosion control work on approximately 50 feet of shoreline running north. At that point the village's Hill Terrace road allowance is effected and the Pioneer Park Association is asking council to consider taking part in a joint work project. Council agreed to pursue the matter by contacting the Ministry of Natural Resources to ,determine if government fun- ding is available. As well, council will in- vestigate new methods of erosion control. "Sheet piling and gabions are not the answer from what I've seen," Councillor Quick suggested.

The "wavebusters" are now in use along Lake Erie shoreline in Munroe, Michigan and council may consider their installation here on the advice of Diemert Construction. The construction company has suggested that Bayfield's use' of "wavebusters" could be promoted as a model to other municipalities concerned about erosion. i, Private land kitviiei•slintBaffieiiiitirdil98 taking action hi regards to broaibil'vlraYltt and are making use of the $50,000 government loan that the municipality has available for erosion work. Council approved a loan application from Robert Snell on lot 266 for the erection of a steel wall along his lakefront property. Council stipulated that the erosion control work should not impede public access to the right to walk along the beach. This condition is placed on all approved loan applications. Under the loan permit available to private land owners, the loan 'is repayable with eight per cent interest. With village approval of the application, Mr. Snell now must seek approval from the Ministry of Natural Resources before work can begin.

By Doris Hunter BAYFIELD - Have you noticed that gradually street signs are appearing on the standards left standing, which were install- ed under the auspices of the Bayfield Historical Society many years ago? Mert Merner made the standards. They are sunk in buckets of cement and then buried in the ground at street corners. Flory Oddleifson designed and made the signs for them, rustic and the names burnt into them. The cars driven by vandals which knock- ed over many of these must have paid well for their fun, but the thieves who made off with the signs, did the village a great disser- vice, to put it mildly. Now one gentleman in town has just quiet- ly been making . and installing these - street names for us.
