City Council is looking to address lack of bathrooms in NYC ahead of World Cup
n less than two months travelers from all over the globe will come to the New York area for the FIFA World Cup, and City Council Majority Leader Shaun Abreu wants to be sure they all have a place to go.
Abreu introduced a bill on Thursday that would require the city to make a plan to expand public bathroom access during the World Cup.
“This is about dignity, cleanliness and public health as much as convenience,” Abreu said in an interview with Gothamist on Sunday. “No one should have to scramble for a bathroom or cut their day short because they can't find one in a global city like New York.”
The bathroom plan would have to be ready by June 1, and would include installing temporary restrooms in areas expected to have high foot traffic during the World Cup, posting signs to direct the public toward restrooms and increasing the frequency of bathroom maintenance.
