Atlantic City Gets Restroom Redo
The Casino Reinvestment Development Authority has authorized
$4.5 million to overhaul seven comfort stations on the Atlantic City
Boardwalk. The plan includes gutting existing interiors to replace
all the plumbing fixtures and faucets, as well as ventilation systems.
New fixtures and faucets will be touchless and easier to clean.
While the stations are closed for renovation, the city will deploy 32
portable toilets for guests.

Port-a-Potty Shelters Approved
In late August, Missoula, Montana's City Council approved close
to $70,000 for the purpose of adding shelters for portable toilets
in three city parks. Park officials believe the shelters are more
aesthetically pleasing and should deter some of the vandalism
(such as tipping toilets) that has occurred in the past. Some of the
funds will also go toward a shade shelter in one of the parks.

McVay Bans Poop in Portable Units
Los Angeles Rams' coach Sean McVay is not a fan of portable toilets.
During the first 2020 episode of Hard Knocks—an HBO series that
looks into what it takes to succeed in the NFL—McVay flew off the
handle when he discovered that someone "took a deuce" in a unit.
"Don't be the guy that takes a s—t in the port-o-potties, alright?" he
yelled at the players. "Have a little more social awareness."

Transparent Toilets Delight Patrons
Designed by Pritzker Prize-winning architect Sigeru Ban, this
transparent restroom was one of 17 designs created through
"The Tokyo Toilet Project." The goal was to create accessible and
welcoming public toilets in public parks near the busiest area of
Tokyo. The transparent design allows patrons to see that the unit
is empty before entering, and once the door is locked, the walls
become opaque. At night, the unit lights up the park like a lantern.
