DAYTON — Dayton has installed a public restroom in the hopes of deterring people from using the bathroom in public.
The city has installed a “Portland Loo” outside Dayton City Hall on West Third Street, according to the city on social media.
The single-occupancy restroom will be open daily and close at midnight, the city said.

A “Portland Loo” is a stainless-steel kiosk restroom designed with “graffiti-proof” wall panels and open grating.
The open grating is designed to allow bystanders to see how many people are inside, to prevent drug use and prostitution, according to Portland Loo.
A second restroom is planned to be installed by the city next week on Fifth Street.
