Do you know of any public toilets in Montreal not mapped on OpenStreetMap?

https://overpass-turbo.eu/s/1wav

( overpass-turbo is a frontend for the API, to actually add nodes you have to go to https://www.openstreetmap.org/edit#map=16/45.5152/-73.5851 )

Also, does anyone know how the placement/funding for portable toilets works in Montreal? Parc Jarry has ~3 for tens of thousands of people 😅

I'm curious about it ever since seeing Utaye's video about the phenomenon more broadly in North America https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d_ZhkZ4hDkI

That's an interesting question. I presume by public toilet, you mean a toilet that is not ran by a business and is managed by the city?

Do port-a-potties count?

exactly

(can you not see the text of the OP?)

my sense is that new permanent public toilets aren't being constructed anymore and we're transitioning into more of a semi-permanent portable toilet solution, but i don't know anyone involved in municipal politics who could help answer this

I didn't even click on the OP, big dum on my part!

I think permanent toilets are very important, especially as private businesses begin to shy away from sharing their restrooms with non-customers.
