After two years and $2.3 million, Queens park still awaits public toilet - NY Daily News

A costly restroom facility in Elmhurst contracted by the city nearly two years ago is still under construction, and it could end up costing even more than originally indicated.
The comfort station at Elmhurst Park — the former site of the Elmhurst Gas Tanks — was originally quoted at just under $2 million in July 2010. The city has since raised the price tag to nearly $2.3 million. And parkgoers continue a scramble to find places to relieve themselves nine months after the park opened.

Yet another illustration of why government should be given as little money as possible.

A private effort could have gotten this thing done for box of twinkies in comparison.
 
2.3 million to build a restroom?What the **** over.Are they building this thing out of granite or marble walls,counters and stalls?Are the faucets and other plumbing fixtures made out of gold and the toilets and urinals made out of fine china?
