After 20 years San Francisco station finally sees flushing toilets.
For over 20 years, the restroom at BART’s Powell Street station in downtown San Francisco remained shuttered.
“It’s been on my mind for a while,” he said. “When Biden called back the military from Afghanistan I thought, ‘The war is over — and the bathroom is still closed.’ ” SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA – FEBRUARY 2: An attendant awaits the first customers to the reopened Powell Street BART Station rest rooms in San Francisco, Calif., Tuesday, Feb. 2, 2022. The facilities have been closed since 2001. .
“It’s a waste of money,” said Keith Garcia, head of the BART Police Officers Association, who criticized BART for not using union-employed crisis response officers to staff the restrooms. He also accused BART leadership of overplaying the significance of the bathroom reopening. “They really did nothing except take the door off. They didn’t increase capacity,” said Garcia. “You’ve got this big celebration, and it’s for a two-stall bathroom.
BART board President Rebecca Saltzman has advocated for reopening the bathrooms for over five years, pushing against previous BART management and other board members who were reluctant to get the toilets flushing again. On Wednesday she hailed the bathroom bringing in a “new era at BART.”
