Council Member Sandy Nurse inquires about the cost and construction timeline for the Portland Loo model. Ya-Ting Liu provides details on the project costs and timelines.
- The total cost for a Portland Loo project is approximately $1 million
- The construction period is estimated to be about 1 year
- Sandy Nurse suggests setting more ambitious implementation goals, given the relatively low cost and high need for public restrooms in New York City
Sandy Nurse
0:52:03
Okay.
0:52:04
And then my final question, I'm not fully sure exactly see how much the Portland logo cost.
0:52:10
Do you know how much this model cost?
0:52:12
I I saw a 185 k above 500,000 for operating costs.
0:52:17
Do you do you know off the top of your head what the total is for a project like this?
Ya-Ting Liu
0:52:21
Yeah.
0:52:21
1,000,000 1,000,000.
Sandy Nurse
0:52:23
Yeah.
0:52:23
Wonderful.
0:52:24
Exactly.
0:52:25
Going from 3 to 5 to now 1.
0:52:27
And then the construction period is how long anticipated to be.
UNKNOWN
0:52:31
Can we have a sense?
Ya-Ting Liu
0:52:33
Sorry.
0:52:33
Bear with me.
0:52:34
I just wanna make sure I'm telling you the about 1 year.
Sandy Nurse
0:52:37
1 year.
0:52:38
Yeah.
0:52:38
Yeah.
0:52:39
So, I mean, I guess, I would love to see, you know, what a a target goal for this this would be.
0:52:45
I know that it's a pilot.
Cathy Kross
0:52:47
Right.
Sandy Nurse
0:52:47
But, I mean, at this point, you know, given the lack of access, it feels like it should be, like, phase 1.
0:52:53
And given how low that cost is, it seems very achievable to hit this target of, you know, one one toilet for every 2000 inclusive of what we already have built that can just be brought online and operational and maintain more effectively and made more visibly known to New Yorkers that it's public.
0:53:14
And then I'm done after this.
0:53:18
But, you know, one of the I'm sorry.
