The City of Penticton is set to install new washrooms in the downtown area, just east of Main Street.
The suggestion came from the downtown revitalization sub-committee, which put forward a model, which would hold two gender-neutral washrooms that would be “vandalism resistant.”
The structure would cost about $48,000 and would likely be placed by the alley east of Main Street’s 200 block.
Director of operations Mitch Moroziuk told council the aim would be to leave the toilets open as late as possible during the tourist season, while during winter it would close earlier.
Maintenance of the toilets would be provided by the city’s contractors who maintain the downtown area.
Last August, the council approved a suggestion to bring portable toilets to the downtown area to avoid public urination and defecation.
