Portland's first loo opens on NW Fifth and Glisan. The new public restroom is one of kind and cost around 140k to create. The city plans on duplicating the model and creating more restrooms in the future - possibly even to sell to other cities.
City Commissioner Randy Leonard says, "It's a fundamental human right to have public facilities for all," according to Amanda Waldroupe with Street Roots.
Leonard talks with a reporter outside the new loo. Phlush, a public restroom advocacy group showed up in mass to support the opening.
Sisters Of The Road offers Randy Leonard a bronze plunger for his efforts on creating more public facilities for individuals experiencing homelessness in Portland.
