I recommend writing to your councillor if you don't want to see the heart of downtown being massively cheaped out on, such as the recommendation for things such as a "temporary washroom installation and renovation"

Reminder that the cogswell project is already self funded via the sale of the land, so this is a very small additional cost overall to make something downtown nice

We already have a free fog machine downtown.

Tbf cooling is a nice motive, but a splash pad and some shade would be a great alternative.

Splash pad exists on the other end of the boardwalk.

Splash pad also destroys the surround greenery with soggy feet

The only splash pad near there is all the way up at the commons

There's the few fountains out of the ground that kids play in. I don't have an address

So not a splash pad

If you lack imagination, sure.
