Public grant money and possibly city dollars were used to build an eco-friendly washroom at the skatepark.
There was a newspaper article with a photograph of two engineers and a building technologist, a third engineer's company installed the solar system under the trees?
Notice the plant material roofing, tiny skylight to eliminate heat loss, the walls were thick straw coated with stucco. The solar panel was to provide lighting and make hot water.
The washroom is closed for winter, locked at dusk and re opened in the morning in summer.
Notice the solar panel under the trees, installed by our local solar company owned by a PEng.
A large skylight would have been adequate for a summer day use only washroom, the solar panel hasn't made enough hot water to wash a mouse's foot, its under the trees?!!!! The cost of this could have paid for simple day use washrooms built in every park in the city.
The past city councillor in the middle of the photo, her business was about building eco-friendly buildings.
When she and a past councillor created a contest so people could nominate members for their eco save buildings, and the best one would win a prize, I suggested a contest for the worst example.
That didn't go over, she put in a lot of time making excuses for this over the top project, but no contest was created for the worst example of eco-building.
