Editor,

In response to Dick McGrath’s letter “Town, Marina link good for business,” I have to say I couldn’t agree with his viewpoint on the funicular more. But why stop at the top of the bluff?

Why not run the funicular all the way to DeBruyn Avenue conquering another long, steep hill? There could be “stations” at Cascade, Anthes, and Park avenues in between.

Piped music (like the kind you hear from an ice cream truck) can flow from the vestibules as they pass by.

Such a feature would fit in perfectly with “historic and quaint Langley” like you said. Folks in Oak Harbor and Freeland will be jealous.

I firmly believe that the key to Langley’s future success lies in its ability to be cheesy.

I really think you are on the right track, Mr. McGrath.
