One of the points in Bill McCrory’s excellent exposé of the Cop Shop in the park was that it had no running water, no bathroom. After touring the Ironman Village today, I confirmed that Bill was wrong; there is indeed plenty of potty taking place on the Cop Shop location.

A Place to Potty

Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
The porta-potties will probably prove to be a better value than the precast concrete structure.
During your tour, did you see any sign of a public safety tent/canopy? I would think that the best location for an event-temporary public safety facility would be on a parking lot easily accessible from the street by emergency vehicles (EMT RAs, paramedics, fire apparatus)rather that on grass. Rolling a laden gurney across grass is hard.

The security tent is set up on the northwest corner of the the “Four Corners” interchange (by Memorial Field). I didn’t go in the middle of the Village, though I plan to return there today to see what the vendors are selling and maybe pick a T-shirt. You think people would believe that I’m an “Ironman”? 🙂

You’re getting there, Dan, just keep going! So will the cops just put one criminal per potty to keep them contained until Ironman is over? (kidding of course)

There is no bunker, so my ? is, has money moved from one entity to another for this—- “endeavor”? If so, where?

concerned citizen,
Early last week I sent an email to City Parks Director Doug Eastwood requesting that he let me know when the bunker will be installed so I could come photograph in the installation. I haven’t received a reply yet, but he probably has been busy this week with Ironman. Whatever we find out, we’ll put up a post on OpenCdA.com. I should have an answer of some kind by Wednesday.
