I also find myself questioning spending half a million dollars on public bathrooms. Wonder who is driving that aspect of the project? For those that are customers of the marina - do they not have restrooms? Else as you say, this location is not a destination. $.5 Million for 3 to 4 months of use????? The lot is empty in the winter.

Side Question - do the much larger public docks (and smaller launch) in Meredith have town restrooms? If not, is there some sort of other alternative that is open to the public?

You are spot on with the issue with this site - parking > it seems like in the summer every spot is taken with very little room for any day-use people dropping boats and needing a space. Use the .5 million to buy/find some adjacent land if available to address that aspect, along with the dock improvements as "inside the U" right now is difficult to fully utilize given the tight quarters.

Just another 2 cents...
