Portland Loo!
This is such a clutch restroom! It’s so conveniently located, right on the roundabout that goes around the Torch of Friendship, downtown San Antonio. It’s located right off the Riverwalk, at one of the busiest street corners in downtown. If you’re just cruising downtown, and don’t wanna have to pay to go buy something at some shop, or feel guilty about going into one of the many hotels around here, this is a fantastic solution!

“In Oregon, the City of Portland is doing its best to serve a toilet-starved public by providing what it calls, The Portland Loo.
And here’s some great news: These sleek-looking, free-standing bathrooms are spreading not only throughout Portlandia, but across the country. Portland officials have been enterprising enough to offer them to other municipal governments, so more of us can have a place to go.”

“We could have paid for the Portland Loo in what we’re spending for repairs and maintenance on the existing facility.
Having seen the Portland Loos that are in Nanaimo and in Bastion Square in Victoria and some other locations, had council made the decision five or six years ago to purchase this, we probably could have paid for it just in what we’re spending in repairs and maintenance of the existing facility.

You can see feet and determine if there is more than one person in there for crime prevention reasons. No water source inside, so they can’t bathe in there. The place to clean their hands is outside.”

The others couldn’t ensure the safety we needed.
“One of the key things in regard to downtown washroom facilities that you’re seeing throughout North America is the ability for sight lines, ensuring the safety of the people using the washroom but also ensuring that if people are inside the washroom and are unconscious, people can see into the washroom.”
