As you may recall, our stalwart lads at Portland City Council agreed with the Fireman that it simply wouldn't be right to implement a crackdown on the vagrants littering downtown Portland until the taxpayers can provide more places for them to...um...go. Known for fearlessly following Canada's lead (skinny residential towers, a-la Vancouver B.C., among other things), our paragons of civic vision only cast their sharp eyes northward again. Free-standing, open-air urinals! Think of them as sort of a reversal of the old Benson Bubbler concept. Whattayasay, guys?
