CLEVELAND, Ohio (WOIO) – When nature calls, there will soon be a new place to do business in Cleveland.
“When you have to go, you have to go,” echoes Robin Riley of Cleveland.
Four Portland Lou portable toilets, an upgrade from what would be considered a regular porta potty, will be installed at three locations around Cleveland. The city’s Planning Commission gave the project “conditional” approval Friday.
Tuck Milligan, a temporary resident of downtown Cleveland, told 19 News: European cities have public facilities everywhere, which is more convenient than searching for a corner somewhere. ” Free-standing public restrooms for men and women with sinks for hand washing. It is wheelchair and stroller accessible, and there is also a diaper changing table. these are welcome
Portland Loo is a free-standing public restroom for men and women with hand-washing sinks. It is wheelchair and stroller accessible, and there is also a diaper changing table. These are welcome amenities in a city where sports and events liven up the nightlife and attract many tourists.
Robin Riley of Cleveland says it’s a great idea. “Sometimes you have to go and some companies won’t let you go unless you buy something.”
Cleveland locations include two portable restrooms at Canal Basin Park in the Flats, one on Payne Avenue near the Virgil E. Brown Building, and one at Park Plaza downtown. It will be done.
Portland Toilets were designed in 2008 in Portland, Oregon in response to the 2008 recession and became a public solution across the United States during the COVID-19 pandemic.
“I think it’s probably a good idea to give people, especially the homeless, the option to use homelessness if they need to, so they don’t end up on the streets or whatever,” city resident Josh Clark told 19News. ” he said.
The Planning Commission wants to ensure that portable facilities are integrated into the environment.
Some who declined to be interviewed said they were concerned that portable toilets would encourage illegal activities such as prostitution and drug use.
However, the makers of Portland Roo claim that blue lights are installed to prevent drug users from spotting the veins as a deterrent.
The Portland Roast is already in storage at the Harbor Maintenance Garage and will be installed in the near future.
