Let the dog in!

OK, now that my discussion of peeing in the park shifted into the territory of government bureaucracy and waste (no pun intended), we now move it into the spirit of individualism and invention. To solve the need for new restrooms at Waterfront Park here on Bainbridge Island, how about a contest? Americans love a good contest.

Here’s our idea: the challenge is to design new park restrooms in the most economical and eco-friendly form possible. Green potties! Maybe our bright high school students could take it on as a project, too. The contest would be open to all, but Bainbridge Island property tax payers should seriously consider competing since the alternative is we pay upwards of a million bucks for actual potties to be made (i.e., the “pot of gold”). Full disclosure: we have not discussed it with city representatives, but are sure they’d enjoy the public interest!

Submit ideas to:
City of Bainbridge Island
Dept. of Public Works

Bainbridge Island, WA 98110
