The resident's idea, as submitted
The idea
By building and maintain multiple clean, safe, and easily accessible public restrooms throughout my community and the surrounding areas. These restrooms would be designed to serve everyone — individuals, families, and people with disabilities.
Who it helps and why
Access to clean, safe public restrooms is a basic human need, this project ensure that everyone, regardless of income, race, or housing status, has equal access to dignified sanitation and recognizes that clean restrooms should not be a privilege. By placing them where they are most needed and keeping the fee low enough to simply cover maintenance — not profit — we reduce barriers for people who are often overlooked. Also this ensure the design is inclusive for people with disabilities and caregivers with children of all genders.
