The Centre City Development Corporation (CCDC) plans to add an additional public restroom\u00a0in\u00a0Little Italy sometime within the next fiscal year at an initial cost of about $900,000. CCDC,\u00a0a nonprofit corporation, presides over redevelopment tax dollars downtown. One official said there is a catch. “Little Italy would have to manage [the restroom],” said CCDC spokesman Derek Danziger. Danziger points out a quirk in the law\u00a0limiting\u00a0spending\u00a0on public restrooms in downtown. While CCDC can help fund public restrooms as part of redevelopment, it cannot pay for maintenance, he said. Developers pay for upkeep costs, he said. The “Date Street” facility planned for Little Italy is one of the latest public restrooms\u00a0being mulled by CCDC and city business agencies such as the Little Italy and the East Village associations. Details about the\u00a0facility have not been laid out. The agencies work together on one proposal at a time. “In the future, we\u2019ll look at adding public restrooms at our new parks,” said Brad Richter, CCDC\u2019s vice president of planning. “[But] right now there isn\u2019t a master plan in process. We\u2019ve looked at this issue over the years.” Downtown\u2019s residents, tourists and transients currently have access to 11 publicly accessible restrooms scattered throughout the inner city and along the harbor. Most remain open part of the day, managed by private companies or by the Unified Port of San Diego. Seven restrooms stay open 24 hours day all week, according to CCDC reports. Though District 2 City Councilman Kevin Faulconer has pushed for portable restrooms in the area in the past, CCDC has nothing to do with paying for those, Richter said.\u00a0<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
