Modular Restrooms Open in NYC Parks
Briefly

New York City has launched five modular public restrooms as part of the 'Ur In Luck' initiative, with a goal of building 46 by 2029. The restrooms are located in five borough parks, including Irving Square Park and Joyce Kilmer Park. Although designed for affordability and ease of installation, total costs reach nearly $1 million per unit due to city processes. The $6 million pilot is part of a broader $150 million investment in public restroom construction and renovations, targeting a major gap in facilities available to the city's residents and visitors.
The kiosk-style units are part of Adams' 'Ur In Luck' initiative, which commits the city to building 46 new public restrooms by 2029 to address the lack of them in the five boroughs.
Each restroom sold to New York City costs a city processes pushed total costs close to $1 million per kiosk, part of a $6 million pilot program.
Made in Portland, Oregon, the Loos include stainless steel stalls, baby changing stations, and full utility hookups, costing roughly $1 million per location.
Adams stated, 'Let's be honest, when nature calls, New Yorkers shouldn't have to cut their fun short... we're proud to be rolling out our new, sleek bathrooms.'
