New Boardwalk Comfort Station Not Expected To Be Complete For Another Month

OCEAN CITY — With August heading into its final stretch and Labor Day weekend near, the new Caroline Street Performing Arts Stage and Comfort Station is still far from completion, and the contractor is now into its penalty phase for missing the deadline.
 

The old underground restrooms at Caroline Street and the Boardwalk were demolished last December and the construction of a new, state-of-the-art facility complete with a performing arts stage began shortly thereafter with a projected finish date in May before the arrival of the summer season. However, an wet spring slowed the construction process and it became apparent the new facility would not be completed for the start of the summer season.

When poor weather continued through much of June, further slowing the construction of the new facility, the city contracted with a private waste disposal company to provide temporary restrooms for Boardwalk visitors on a site immediately adjacent to the construction site and just behind the Fireman’s Memorial on North Division.

Why can't they work in the rain? I watched several Amish guys put up a 9000 sq ft building in less than 2 weeks earlier this summer. They worked in the pouring down rain several times.

New million dollar restroom, new fire station at 65th st, upgrade Montego Bay fire station, proposed new life guard building, new boardwalk, redo parts of St Louis Avenue, etc. Is the deficit spending going to break OC? Increasing parking meters won't balance the budget.

More paid parking was all the nitwits could come up with 8:41. It's like peeing in the wind type of thing. Watch them online sometime. That new majority is as dopey as all get out.
Too stupid to see the legacy they are leaving for the next generation. Par for course though because not one of the 5 has their own pot to take a leak in themselves. All they know is borrowing. It's all well and good that they don't care about their own children but some parents in OC do and don't want debt.
