The City of Sonora, California will be making improvements to its downtown public restrooms, including floor resealing, new paint, and wall panel installation. This work will require temporary closures of the Stewart Street parking lot restrooms from April 6-8 and the Green Street (Police Station) restrooms from April 9-10, though at least one public restroom will remain open during the project.

Why it matters

Maintaining clean and functional public restrooms is an important part of supporting a thriving downtown district, especially ahead of the busy Farmers Market season when foot traffic increases. The temporary closures aim to complete necessary upgrades without completely disrupting access for residents and visitors.

The details

The City of Sonora's Community Development Director, Tyler Summersett, stated that the improvement work is being funded through Measure Y dollars. The project will include resealing the floors, applying new paint, and installing wall panels in the public restrooms.

• The Stewart Street parking lot restrooms will be closed from April 6-8.
• The Green Street (Police Station) restrooms will be closed from April 9-10.
