Is Toronto’s public design in the toilet?

September 10, 2025

Toronto’s park department has announced a program to repair and replace more than 125 public bathrooms across the city. Finally, a long-overdue effort to tackle an essential civic problem. Yet the rush to act threatens Toronto’s design culture.

The Washroom Enhancement Project is rolling out rapidly. City spokesperson Jas Baweja says Toronto aims to have 35 projects finished by next year, especially in its most popular parks. The timing aligns neatly with the next municipal election.
