Livonia Resident Praises Urben Blu Public Restrooms During City Council Meeting

Editorial Summary

During a recent Livonia City Council meeting in Michigan, a resident publicly addressed council members to share feedback regarding public restroom infrastructure, based on discussions he had with officials from other municipalities.

At approximately the 3:45 mark of the meeting, the resident explained that he had spoken with representatives from the City of Franklin, Ohio, where an Urben Blu self-cleaning public restroom was installed earlier this year. According to his remarks, Franklin officials expressed exceptionally strong satisfaction with the installation.

As relayed by the resident during the meeting, Franklin officials described the unit as: “the best public restroom they’ve ever installed — and the only model they want to install going forward.”

This unsolicited testimony, delivered during a public council session, highlights how well-designed, durable, and low-maintenance public restrooms can positively influence municipal decision-making. It also demonstrates the value of peer-to-peer feedback among cities when evaluating long-term infrastructure investments.
