Thanks to The Mercury, we find out that Commissioner Randy Leonard, of the Portland Rainbow City Council, is going to design, with the help of the toilet designers at the water bureau (?!) street “pissoirs.”
Apparently the folks at American Standard, Coors, and Toto were unavailable for the job of Potty Planner. And these bad boys are a bargain! Only $500,000.00! As I often maintain: we have more planners than police…and more dollars than sense.
This is what pissoirs look like in cities that have used them.
Women need not attempt to use these, it goes without saying.

I know these guys are working so hard at looking “european” with our tax dollars, but if they’re just trying to get away from using city hall for the 24 hour toilet where an average of two persons a night use it for an average cost of $83.00 per potty, wouldn’t it just make sense to use these?
