Will these bathrooms 🚽 be accessible for addicts to shot up drugs ? Is there a area for the drug user to shoot up there dope an dispose of there needles 💉 last time I used the bathroom in Asheville the dope user had held the bathroom hostage so there needs to be a bathroom for them an a bathroom for kids an parents that don’t use drugs. An hand sanitizer an needle 💉 exchange box 📦 instead of making it a 4star hotel for the homeless to lock 🔒 the doors an taxpayers can’t get into bathrooms they paid for 😢. This is a problem in Asheville rather rich county officials who don’t use these bathroom know or not ♥️ ( please an thank you 🙏 concerned taxpayer an citizen ) Maybe charge a dime like they do in New York 😂 make them addict proof please 🙏 nothing in your fancy design mentions this ?

Can we just leave the trees alone and work around them? Move the lights instead.

None of these. Stop wasting money.

If one divides $964000. (the cost of this project) is divided by $15000. (the cost of housing one unhoused individual in 'affordable housing') the outcome could potentially be 64.3 individuals exiting the streets and moving into permanent housing. Possibly a better use of these funds in the long run.

B - needs monitoring and regular cleaning for any of these to be a viable option. It will never be a bad thing to make our city more accessible both to our tourists, locals, and yes, even homeless folks. The lack of empathy for the condition of those in need of services in this thread is so disheartening. I understand the concerns voiced here, but where else would y'all want our homeless neighbors to use the bathroom!? However, this will be an expensive project eating up funds better used elsewhere if there is not regular (multiple times a day) cleaning and assurance that the space doesn't become a hazard. Not necessarily sure that law enforcement is the answer to the safety concern here and I'm curious what the city's thought process is.

Is there anything else you would like to share with the Design Team or City staff regarding the restroom or site configuration?
Open views, lot's of bright lighting, perhaps a minimal charge

While new street trees can be planted if existing ones are cut down, retaining older and more established trees is environmentally preferable. The larger trees stand a greater chance of surviving increasingly common extreme heat events, and provide immediate and better heat island reduction.

Bike racks would be great
