Columbus to move gazebo for new accessible public restroom
What happened
A Better Columbus secured a $27,985 grant from the Lower Colorado River Authority to install a handicap-accessible public restroom off the downtown Milam Street strip in Columbus by late winter. The project requires moving the existing gazebo behind First State Bank a few feet to accommodate the permanent restroom building and its handicap ramp. The city of Columbus is contributing $3,150 in kind, and ABC is funding the remaining $5,845 of the total $35,980 project cost.
Why it matters
The project addresses the lack of ADA-accessible businesses on the downtown strip, as noted by Columbus Mayor Lori An Gobert. Construction is estimated to last a few weeks, with completion expected around the start of the new year.
