San Luis Obispo, California, hosts 30,000 students at Cal Poly State University and Cuesta College.
The nightlife can be quite busy in downtown San Luis Obispo. And the revelers are encouraged to walk home when enebriated.
The City of San Luis Obispo inexplicably closes its public restrooms at 10:00 PM, when arguably they are most needed between the hours of 1:30 AM and 3:00 AM in the morning, when enebriated people singly, in pairs and groups are traipsing through Mitchell Park and the Mission.
Now I don't want to gross anyone out here, but these folks gotta go, when they gotta go. No public restroom means the bushes in the kids area at Mitchell Park, and down by the Creek in the Mission. Even the most rigorous potty training can't help you if there is no potty.
In addition to the students there are a lot of folks who like to take walks around town at night, or ride bicycles. It would be great to have a bathroom available. Most businesses have a patron only policy, and many have a cover charge to get inside to the bathroom after 10:00 PM. When you add all these numbers up and sum them with the 1000+ homeless folk without beds in the City, it becomes quite a burden on the environment and everyones bladder.
This is a necessary 'cost of doing business' City of San Luis Obispo! Let's get sanitary eh? Open those public restrooms at night please.
