City seeks feedback on downtown public washroom access

The City of Prince George is launching a new survey to learn more about the demand for public washrooms downtown.

In September, City Council directed staff to seek feedback from residents to inform future decisions about public washroom access.

During that meeting, Council was presented with some current options, cost estimates, and potential approaches to improve access.

Some of these suggestions included:

• A staffed washroom at Canada Games Plaza
• A durable, single-occupancy, standalone structure such as a Portland Loo
• Washroom access delivered through a partnership with a downtown service provider
• Integrating a year-round public washroom into an existing civic facility

Residents are being asked to provide feedback on proposed suggestions, identify priority areas for downtown public washrooms, and share views on funding and cost considerations.

Council will consider the feedback in the spring.

The survey is available on the City website, and will be available until March 2.
