When the self-cleaning public toilets on the River Walk were first installed in 2011 they created talk because of their unique design. However, more recently that conversation has shifted to one of concern over their safety and maintenance.
“The temporary location seems fine. It’s a little more out of the way off the main River Walk, so maybe not as visible,” said resident Tom Jenson. “I think there’s a fair demand for it. People along the River Walk — whether you live here or are you just passing by — it’s a nice thing to have available.”
Building the new bathrooms will cost $800,000 and will see a jury made up of community and architectural representatives overseeing the project, “By limiting that washroom access we are encouraging public urination and things like that,” said Smith, who is the president, CEO and founder of BeTheChangeYYC.
