Report
Inspired by Gawker's Subway Smells Map, Candy wondered if there was a way to alleviate some of the city's pungent odors. After using GIS to map out the location of semi-public restrooms in downtown NYC, she wanted to make this information publicly accessible to relieve us all. Inspired by notepad maps in Detroit's subway, she created a notepad version of her restroom maps and posted them at the 6, J, M, Z Canal St subway stops. The map can be torn from the notepad and used as a vital resource for local facilities as well as facts about NYC's slim offerings in the public restroom realm. While New York's subways offered 1,676 public toilets in 1940, only 28 are open to the public today.
