The port-a-potties will be placed for 90 days at seven locations primarily around downtown and South Dallas. If council members like how the plan is working, the locations will continue to rotate around homeless encampments.
The city of Dallas is starting a program to provide temporary restrooms near homeless encampments. If council members like how the plan is working, the locations will continue to rotate around homeless encampments. The locations would be determined based on calls to 311. Councilmembers said the need for a sanitary restroom option is apparent from the public nuisance complaints they've received. But there are also concerns.
"Do they see this is another step towards an acknowledgment? You do need a place to go that is humane and we care? But we are also going to move you into housing. We are not going to stay here," she said.The city's director of the Office of Homeless Solutions promised that the city will keep them clean. But some questioned that, given the city's record at public parks.
"They will be cleaned three times a week," Crossley said. "If that is not enough, we will move it up."
