selecting a location. .* ‘"

, Concealing the facility

This secluded area already
holds enough attraction for

covert activities, without the
additional bait of ‘an un-
supervised washroom,

Alternative site #1, located
at the far north end of the
Sparks Street parking lot, isa
more logical choice for erec-
ting this facility. Besides the
ebvious convenience: for
users, the scrutiny of parents
and coaches would ensure
the safety of small children
requiring a mid-game
‘washroom visit.

The initially higher cost of

servicing this site is well.
