I have heard from constituents as well regarding the lack of public facilities like restrooms in the neighborhood.
0:49:08
Do you have any thoughts on potential solutions to address this community concern?
Neil Weisbard

Yes.
0:49:13
I actually spoke to the applicant yesterday, and they are open to a public bathroom.
0:49:16
On maybe one corner of the building and the north side.

It seems like it would be an area that that that needs it.
0:49:22
Right?
0:49:23
You have folks potentially riding bikes along the water.
0:49:25
You know, they may need a a a stop along the way.
Neil Weisbard
0:49:28
We think it'll be good too for the retail uses.
0:49:30
Yeah.
0:49:31
So they're all gonna do it.

And you have a garden on the north end.

So I know when you garden half the day, it would be nice to have a bath.
