Description

As of 10:30 PM on 8/15/2016, Maxwell Park Women's bathroom was left unlocked (for the second night this week). Since 5/30/2016, at least one bathroom in this park has been left unlocked after dark 18% of the time. Since 6/30/2016, at least one bathroom in this park has been left unlocked after dark almost 13% of the time. Since 7/31/2016, at least one bathroom in this park has been left unlocked after hours 25% of the time.

It's now mid-August. Leaving a public bathroom door unlocked 4 nights--ONE QUARTER OF NIGHTS THIS MONTH SO FAR is unacceptable from a public safety standpoint, not merely from the public service standpoint of the taxpayers.

Moreover, this negligence is chronic. Since the end of May, these restrooms have been unlocked AN AVERAGE OF ALMOST ONE OUT OF FIVE NIGHTS--MORE THAN ONCE A WEEK OVER THE LAST 2-1/2 MONTHS. And this is only the times when positively observed. Most likely, these actual numbers are higher.
