Editor,

We get the South Whidbey Record eight and 10 issues at a time as we are in Arizona for the winter. We live just across the street from Ferry Dock Road on Hunziker Lane.

I just finished reading the Oct. 21 issue and the story concerning overhead passenger loading. I can’t believe that the overhead loading was abandoned for budgetary reasons but they come up with $600,000 for preliminary engineering, planing and identifying a solution for Ferry Dock Road. Why spend $600,000 if construction money is a maybe?

Doug Fox said the initial plan was to widen the road which would require digging into the bluff. Sounds like he has identified a solution. The article states money is not guaranteed and “if” money is delivered. How can you run a project on maybes and ifs?
