If things keep going the way they are, the Westport Highway Department might want to consider opening a branch on East Beach Road — if they can put it on stilts.

Highway Department director Chris Gonsalves, as he has done for much of the past month, spent a good part of Tuesday morning working to inspect and clear the road from yet another storm that on Saturday combined high winds, surf and high tides to disastrous effect. The sea-level road and the approximately 100 trailer lots that line its north and south sides have taken a beating since a week before Christmas, when the first of the storms began, and the impacts only worsened Saturday.

On Friday, a few days after the second most recent storm and a day before the most recent one blew through, curious residents went down to have a look after the tides receded. They found structures tossed about like dollhouses, undercut trailer pads and millions and millions of pounds of cobbles displaced by the floodwaters covering every inch of East Beach Road.

One of the visitors was Deborah Attardo, who owns three lots on the ocean side and has been there every summer for 53 years.

“It makes me said,” she said.

Town administrator James Hartnett said town workers are doing their best to keep up with the damage along the road, and at last Monday’s meeting of the select board he and others agreed that the town should look at long term solutions to the flooding problems.

Members of the planning board and the fire chief, who also serves as the town’s director of emergency management, are expected to take the lead on the issue and will work with the highway department, East Beach property owners and the East Beach Improvement Association as they look for ways to better insulate the area from storms’ effects.

“We’ve got to come up with some kind of plan as the town and the property owners,” board member Manny Soares said.

It’s unknown when the first meetings will be held on the issue, but Attardo said she will take part:

“Come hell or high water, I’ll be there.”
