If Ventura wants to keep visitors happy, it needs to get serious about providing public toilets, city tourism officials say. At a recent Downtown Community Council meeting, Kathy Janega-Dykes, executive director of the city's tourist bureau, implored merchants to find a solution, saying her office had received many complaints over the summer. "We had irate--and I mean irate--people at our visitors center," she told local merchants. The problem is a sign of downtown Ventura's growing pains.
