Analysis:
In an effort to modernize existing restrooms in Central Park, the Community Services Department has elected to install new Romtec modular restrooms. This project will replace one existing restroom near Kathy May’s in Central Park with a new Romtec modular restroom matching those recently installed during Phase 1 near the Dog Park, the Slater Parking Lot, and the Park Bench Café. Identical to the others, this restroom will have six stalls and be installed at the same location as the existing restroom.
