    Describe the challenge you want to address:
    There are not enough public bathrooms, and I highly doubt the city will be building more. I know people with IBS who struggle to navigate the city, having to pre-plan where bathrooms will be or choosing to fast rather than have to deal with the problem. This is just one example of New Yorkers who need more bathrooms.
    What is the solution to the challenge?
    Leverage bathrooms that already exist. In Europe, it is very common to have clearly marked bathrooms available for a small fee (approximately a dollar) all over the place. The fee goes towards paying for a bathroom attendant and keeping the bathroom clean. I understand this is not the ideal solution as using a toilet should be a public amenity and is biased against low income and unhoused people, but this would be a step in the right direction at least. The city should help businesses make their bathrooms available to the public for a small fee, and this might be helpful for businesses in increasing their foot traffic and sales.
