Ribbon-cutting today for downtown Cape restrooms
Cape Girardeau city officials will celebrate the newest addition to downtown amenities today -- the completion of a public restroom facility and parking lots along Broadway between North Main Street and the Mississippi River floodwall. A ribbon cutting will be held at 2 p.m. today for the new facilities, which include landscaping, benches and lighting. Security near the restroom will be provided by two cameras linked to the city's 911 communications center with continuous recording. The parking area provides 57 parking spaces for cars, six for motorcycles and a bicycle rack. Funding for the project included at $371,400 Community Development Block Grant.

Another outdoor restroom? That's special. I remember when the city tore down the brick outhouse in Dennis Scivally Park, and wanted to replace it with another permanent structure. The neighbors came out in mass against the plan, so the city installed two portipotties instead. I have a friend that lives within sight of the potties, and frequently sees two men enter the same pottie at the same time. Just the thing you want your children to witness, and have to explain to them what's going on.
"Security near the restroom will be provided by two cameras linked to the city's 911 communications center with continuous recording."
I think that fact will help deter crime.
