Trottenberg affirms commitment to public toilets

Dana Rubinstein

Transportation commissioner Polly Trottenberg firmly believes New Yorkers need more in the way of public lavatories than the city's Starbucks, hotel lobbies and McDonald's can provide.

Today, during a City Council hearing on the transportation department's budget, Trottenberg said she's not giving up on a Bloomberg-era plan to install 20 public toilets in New York City.

"I think we really need to get that done and it's something we’re going to focus on," she told the Council.
