Nonetheless, along with the odor issues of last month, complaints over major construction work being done in the peak season on the Boardwalk in front of retailers paying prime rent prices continue to be heard. “We seem to be hearing less complaints. The temporary trailers, while they had running water they just didn’t have the capacity and we kept having overflow and odor issues with them, so the port-o-johns seem to be working out better,” McGean said. “The plan is to keep those until we can open the restrooms. We are concentrating on getting the restrooms done as quickly as possible even though the stage may not be ready.” Architect David Quillin’s design of the Caroline Street Performing Arts Stage and Comfort Station went through several revisions before being approved last July. Due to council concerns, the barrel-vaulted roof was changed to a gable roof, the fabric awning over the stage was also changed to a gable roof and the end porches and stage were changed to have exposed wood trusses with bow bottom-chord.
