Public Bathroom Maintenance

Avatar: Community Member Community Member

What problem would you like to solve?

Public bathrooms in city parks are often unclean and/or closed off. As a result, people can't use the bathroom when they need to go.

Why is it important to solve? Why is it relevant for the community?

Everyone deserves the right to use the bathroom. Unclean public bathroom facilities are a health hazard, and when people do not have access to the bathroom, they tend to go in the streets and sidewalks.

What idea do you have to address the problem?

Extending public bathroom hours and have more people on the clock to clean public bathrooms more regularly.

Who would that help?

It would help everyone. This will especially help people who are houseless have access to facilities.

What NYC borough would benefit from your idea?

Borough: Manhattan
