Does Medford Have a Public Bathroom Problem?
Are the city's public bathrooms in disrepair?
Over the summer, the Medford City Council put $10,000 toward renovating the bathrooms at the city’s public library.

Marks said recently he was at Brooks Elementary School and the bathroom was in “deplorable condition.”
