There is a new plan to install public toilets in Somerville, Massachusetts, to help prevent the mess community members have been dealing with.
Kat Powers, director of the Somerville Media Center, says there aren't many public restroom options after hours.
"We don't do enough public bathrooms. That's part of the reason that SMC keeps its doors open for people who've got to go, because when you have to go, you've got to go," she said.
"There were a lot of services here [in Union Square], including some places where, again, our unhoused neighbors could come in and use facilities," said Somerville City Councilor TJ Scott."Unfortunately, with [former Gov. Charlie] Baker's defunding and the [MBTA Green Line Extension] displacing the Walnut Street Center, the number of those places has really gone down.
