In 2015, the Gay Head Lighthouse will be moved further, much further, away from the cliffs. The new Lagoon bridge will catapult drivers and bicycle riders up-Island. – Cartoons by Kate Feiffer

A few predictions for the upcoming year by MV Times contributing editor Kate Feiffer.

If these predictions do come true, using the Lagoon Bridge as a trebuchet will help tourists get up-Island quickly on beach days. Surely, by moving the Gay Head Lighthouse as far as the Field Gallery, it will save us from having to move it again in a few years, when climate change raises our waters and pushes our beaches further inland…

We’d love to hear any reasonable, or even not-so-reasonable, predictions about what might happen on Martha’s Vineyard in 2015. Please send them to onisland@mvtimes.com
