Renovation of Farmers' Market Washroom
The Farmers' Market bathroom is undergoing renovation and expansion of its hours. After considering various options, including standalone self-cleaning washrooms, the city council unanimously decided to renovate the existing washroom.
A staff report presented at the Owen Sound city council meeting discussed several options to improve downtown washroom infrastructure, ranging from porta-potties to high-tech self-cleaning standalone washrooms, with a price tag of up to $450,000.
City staff and councillors agreed that renovating the existing washroom at the Farmers' Market was the more balanced and cost-effective approach.
The self-cleaning washrooms were noted as a clear gem, but at a high price.
The decision comes months after public washroom access was identified as a key improvement needed within the River District.
