Melisa Moen walks over a wooden overpass installed by the District of West Vancouver so visitors can cross the “tiger dam” that’s been temporarily installed to protect the Silk Purse and Music Box buildings from possible seawater flooding with king tides expected this month.
King tides are extreme high tides that happen when the moon is closest to the earth. Tidal predictions for Point Atkinson in December and January fluctuate between 4.8 to 5 metres.
