A small groundbreaking ceremony was held yesterday for the newest addition to Manitowoc’s scenic Maritime Drive along Lake Michigan.
According to a Facebook post by Mayor Justin Nickels, the Blue Rail Restroom is being built near the Blue Rail walkway that leads out to the lighthouse.
A.C.E. Building Service is the general contractor for the project, which will include a seasonal men’s and women’s restroom, a pet drinking fountain, open air shelter, and a beach shower. There will also be an interior mural that will be visible from Maritime Drive.
The project was partially funded by a grant from the West Foundation and is scheduled to be opened next Spring.
