Crapper for Little Bay Park a long time coming

From the Times Ledger:

Residents of northeast Queens took some comfort in hearing that one long-awaited project at Little Bay Park would be moving forward soon.

In an e-mail to his community last week, Bay Terrace Community Alliance President Warren Schreiber said he was cautiously optimistic to report the city Parks Departments’ intention of breaking ground on a new comfort station at Little Bay Park in March.

“I am hopeful, but also skeptical,” Schreiber said. “I just don’t want to see the community disappointed again if they come up with another reason why the project cannot move forward.”

According to a Parks spokesman, the project should be finished by fall 2014 and will include a new comfort station, trees, plantings, and an expanded 100-car parking lot equipped with the ability to clean and absorb storm water runoff, reducing the burden on the area’s drains. The bidding process for the project is nearly finished and the project’s contracts are awarded, or soon to be awarded, the spokesman said.

No need for crappers...
just shit and piss directly into Little Bay.

It's organic material and it will dissipate...
unlike those toxic mercury compounds
that are down there in the silt.

Now when I ride my bike to work I don't have to hold it till I get home. Plus all the walkers, joggers and dog lovers will have a rest stop too.

This is the real reason you have to wait so long to get the comfort station. Too much bureaucratic nonsense. The bidding process takes forever. There ought to be legislation to streamline and reduce wait times for approved projects.

There's plenty of crap coming from pols trying to rig the bidding process, so that one of their friends gets the job.

Award a contract in exchange for a campaign contribution. Now that's the real shit going on!
