Construction Update: Waterfront Restrooms

From our partners at the Office of the Waterfront and Civic Projects: “Construction of the all-gender public restroom, located on the Park Promenade between Union and University streets, will begin as early as Monday, June 24. Expect the work zone to narrow the space for people walking during work hours.  Work on the restroom will take approximately 6 months to complete.”
