City Council: Please, Don’t Tear it Down

Despite community backlash, the Leadbetter Beach bathroom demolition and rebuild is out to bid.

Bidding has begun on a project to renovate the Leadbetter Beach Restroom. It is not yet back into plan check, and there is considerable community backlash. The stated rationale for this project has been concerns for public safety and ADA compliance.

These can be addressed without the demolition of the restroom‘s changing area which provides privacy; and shower walls that protect the building from storm and tide, and the public from the elements.

Why Has the City Gone to Bidding When It is Not Ready?
