Overview

• The city approved last year a two-stall restroom at the park’s Fuller Avenue entrance with a budget of about $960,000.
• Activist Scott Weil of Runyon Canyon Guardians says he identified a vendor offering a comparable two-cabinet unit at roughly half the price.
• A spokeswoman for Mayor Karen Bass says the park draws about two million visits annually, and officials cite safety, cleanliness and accessibility as priorities.
• City statements reported that the project was cleared by the Board of Recreation and Parks Commissioners and financed through park fees and deferred-maintenance funds rather than the general fund.
• The city has not announced any change to the price or schedule, with local reports indicating completion targeted by next summer and some noting a San Francisco case where an initially high toilet estimate was later reduced.
