Julie Chou, AIA co-authored a public bathroom report in 2019 with the Urban Design Forum and currently leads a public bathroom working group with several community boards working to advance the future of our public bathroom system. She presented her work related to advancing the NYC public bathroom system. Anyone interested can review this map (created by the working group) of NYC public bathrooms to help identify where a public bathroom would be helpful and why.
