Federal grants for park lighting and bathrooms

The 1960s-era bathroom and concession shack at 10th Street Park is badly worn, and the city lost its only permanent daytime restrooms when the fish house closed. A replacement (roughly $400,000-500,000) is competing with field lights in the capital budget.
