The proposal will be discussed at an online public meeting of the Community Board 14 Transportation Committee on Thursday, November 6th, at 6:30 p.m. Feedback from the public is welcome.
The toilet will be open from 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. daily. It'll allow fifteen minutes of use per visit.
The toilet is free and fully-accessible. It's single-stall, self-sanitizing, and will be serviced twice a day for inspection and system maintenance.
For installation to proceed, approval is needed from the following:
▪ Community Board
