COVID-19 pandemic and the need for access to washrooms across the city.The 79 additional washrooms are on top of the 64 that are usually available throughout the winter months, totalling 143 public washrooms, the city said.The move comes as access to washrooms has been limited for residents since indoor dining remains shuttered and many other businesses have closed their washrooms to the public.Officials said most of the city park washrooms are not winterized as they were not designed or constructed for winter use and most are closed by Thanksgiving weekend.The city said the washrooms lack insulated plumbing and sufficient electrical for heating and must be closed ahead of winter to avoid pipes freezing and bursting from the colder.
