Editor,

This is a letter to Langley Mayor Fred McCarthy: The brief note in the Saturday Record brings up Langley parking.

As a 40-plus-year resident of Clinton, I write to the current mayor from time to time to explain why I, and a lot of other residents, do not go into Langley.

Parking by employees. If I cannot park at least within a reasonable distance from the business that I would like to visit, I do not go. Sitting in the Village Pizza or in Cafe Langley, you can watch business employees park and go into business to work.

The article mentioned a study. Wow! Why don’t you just walk around the three blocks of downtown with a pad and paper and write down license plate numbers and put them into a database and see who parks in the prime spots daily. You will be surprised. If you are too lazy to do this, have the rookie police officer do this just for fun.

This is not rocket science.

I will write again in a couple of years when this problem is being studied again in a multi-million dollar study.

WILLIAM COUCH
