    Mr. Mayor ; In regards to parks opening . Utilizing the Heritage State Park and being able to use the out door unisex restroom is needed to complete a walk on the boardwalk . I am elderly and love the walk but am not able to complete my walk or walk the whole distance I like to walk . Will that outdoor rest room be open soon ? If I may suggest an attendant to keep the rest room sanitized after each use it may be in accordance to the sanitary ordinance and one person at a time . It would be greatly appreciated . Thank you for all you do for Fall River . I admire your compassion and your dedication to our city .
