Three Public Restrooms to Open Downtown in September
To keep downtown vibrant, safe, and clean, the City of Columbus (City) is investing in three public restrooms, an amenity that will serve everyone downtown, including residents, commuters, visitors, joggers, festivalgoers, and families.
The City has partnered with the Capital Crossroads Special Improvement District (SID) to oversee the construction and maintenance of the public restrooms.
The restrooms are being installed in high-need areas that were identified based on usage of the temporary, portable restrooms currently in place downtown:
-
- The NW corner of Long and High Streets
- The SW corner of Lynn and High Streets
- The NE corner of Broad and 3rd Street
The City and SID selected Portland Loo models (see image above) for the three new downtown restrooms. These units were selected for their smart design features that promote cleanliness and deter crime.
The restrooms are slated to open September 2023.
