“I'm so proud to be here in West Harlem alongside Speaker Menon, Councilmember Abreu, Assemblymember Jordan Wright. As we announce this new pilot program to majorly scale up the number of public restrooms in our city, We are announcing the launch of a new program to expand access to public bathrooms across the five boroughs, committing $4 million to a request for proposals for high quality modular public restrooms.
