New York has far fewer bathrooms, as a percentage of its population, than many other cities around the world. There are just 1,066 public toilets available for the city’s 8.2 million residents, according to the bill’s sponsor, Councilwoman Sandy Nurse. That is one facility for every 7,800 people.

The New York City Council has passed a bill requiring the mayor to add roughly 1,000 public bathrooms across the city by 2035.
