Manhattan Borough President Mark Levine and Council Member Rita Joseph, of Brooklyn, are continuing their quest to bring more bathrooms to the Big Apple, as a means to provide relief to New Yorkers and tourists for when they desperately need to go.

In 2022, the elected officials proposed addressing the city’s toilet drought following the COVID-19 pandemic by opening up public, self-cleaning bathrooms. Now the pair are continuing to stand up for New Yorkers, sponsoring two new bills so others can sit down on the porcelain throne.
