Editor,
The funicular is something long overdue that will be a worthwhile and attractive addition to the city.
1. It would be useful for elders and disabled persons to make it to the marina with ease.
2. It would be an efficient way for boat operators to carry gear to and from the marina.
3. It would be a great means for visitors (including many from our own South Whidbey area who simply don’t come to Langley anymore) to visit the marina with a pretty view to and from.
4. With plenty of parking at the Island Community Church, it would save using the lot at the marina.
5. Finally, the business it would bring to Langley’s economy would be one of the biggest reasons to build it.
So let’s get on with it.
