Reply to comment by candcNYC in Modular Portland Loo Toilets Will Be Tried in NYC Parks - THE CITY by space_______kat

Wait so may body expulsion sounds and smells are practically out in the open in a high foot traffic area?

And literally anyone can lean down and watch people go to the bathroom through the open slat design?

No, the louvers are tilted for privacy, both from street level and building windows above.

The loos are also installed in high visibility spots that discourage peeping Toms and loitering.

Idk know about ‘body expulsion’ concerns… but open air dissipates smells quickly and it’s designed to be spray-washed clean.

but from the FAQ you posted...

> How does The Portland Loo® help reduce inappropriate use such as prostitution and drugs? The open bottom and top of the restroom allow sight lines

I mean... it can't be both.
