Our sidewalks and streets have public washrooms, benches, bike racks, banners, flags, clocks, map stands, newspaper boxes, and waste bins. These fixtures and amenities provide seating, waste management, and storage to help keep Vancouver tidy, convenient, and vibrant.
We've installed automated public toilets in the downtown area. They are automatically cleaned and sanitized after each use.
