Hi Casey,
Thanks for the email. All or our parks are open from dusk to dawn and we
set the restrooms to open at 7am and increase time as the year goes on.
Currently they are set for 9pm (sunset is at 8:44 pm today) to lock and
our crew is going out today to make sure the timer is still on local time
and locking at 9pm. Sorry if the timers have slipped causing an early
lockdown. We have problems leaving them open later than what is allowed by
code throughout the City with transients and vandals doing damage, so
that's why the time locks were installed several years ago. The BMX club
knows about the timers and is supposed to be providing additional portable
toilets during these events. Our restrooms only have a certain capacity
and cannot handle a BMX event.
I've asked the crew to check the timers as we get closer to the BMX events
and hopefully that will take care of the early lock problems you
experienced. Thanks.

Subject: Bathroom Lock Timers at BMX Track
Hi, My family travels weekly to your BMX track and love what your track
provides for our children and families all over the Northwest. Many
people however are inconvenienced by the timing of the automatic door
locks on the bathroom at the track. Races often run until 9:30 p.m. on
Friday nights and the bathrooms auto lock around 8:00, leaving people
scrambling for a solution. Many people wonder why the lock time can't be
changed until 10:00 p.m. given the number of attendees needing the
facilities on Friday nights. The track will soon be hosting the state
national championships and hundreds of people will be descending upon the
track for a weekend in August and then too the bathrooms will be in need.
What can be done to change the bathroom timers on the doors at the BMX
track by one hour to accommodate citizens needing to use the facilities?
Thank you,
Casey Sinigaglia
