A repeat customer, The City of Longview previously worked with our sister company, Romtec Utilities, on the Mt. Solo project.
The City of Longview received a grant for $300,000 to add a new restroom to the Vandercook Park project.
The Sidewalk restroom building was selected for Vandercook Park. The City of Longview handled the site work and utilities for the project, and Romtec installed the sidewalk restroom through our turnkey services.
The City of Longview purchased the sidewalk restroom utilizing Sourcewell. Romtec provided the design, supply, and installation of the Sidewalk restroom for Vandercook Park on behalf of the City of Longview.
Romtec worked with the city on the building design and design requirements.
The sidewalk restroom features louvered vents with expanded metal on the interior side, providing visibility into the restroom. This is primarily for security reasons and to provide an accessible restroom quickly.
The single-user restroom has limited features, which is ideal for urban areas with a high amount of traffic or pedestrians. The limited features help deter vandalism and provide the basics of a restroom.
There is also a wall mount red security light which is controlled by an occupancy sensor inside the restroom. This added feature allows police, security, or other users the ability to know if the restroom is in use.
Romtec was proud to provide this sidewalk restroom for Vandercook Park for the City of Longview.
The modern, urban design uses sleek metal exterior and louvered vents all around the structure for ventilation.
