 Park Rapids is looking to add on public restrooms to its only downtown park area. The park's board had made the addition a priority last year and planned to set aside $75,000 for the project. The lowest construction bid was significantly more than the original budget, so the City Council decided on Tuesday night to postpone the project while it continues to fundraise. Dedicated bricks will be sold and later installed in the park in order to raise the additional funds. The downtown businesses are all, you know, they're not real big and a lot of them don't have bathrooms and some have bathrooms in the basement which are somewhat inaccessible and it's needed for actually quite a while. The City says it hopes to have the bricks and the new bathroom installed by the beginning of summer next year.
