Proposed Design Change

I am thinking about some changes to the design of the Fiberglass Ladies Bicycle.
Here is a watercolor painting:

The changes would include fenderskirts over the wheels, hard panniers on the rear, and the fairing would be replaced with a "dump" bucket, like a wheelbarrow.
Below is a photo of the current bike:

I know many of you have seen this photo before (it's in my avatar), but maybe there are newcomers who missed it.

I don't want anyone to under-estimate the utilitarian nature of this bike. The fiberglass is heavy duty.

Should the dump bucket be one piece, forcing me to tip the entire bike, or should the dump bucket be on a hinge?

This bike will help maintain local trails, by ferrying in fresh fill.
