The lack of adequate public restroom access in the U.S. is a serious public health issue that needs urgent addressing. It requires not only a change in societal attitudes and policies but also the active participation of individuals, communities, and businesses. By acknowledging the problem and taking proactive steps towards enhancing restroom infrastructure, we can ensure better health and quality of life for all.

Blue Ridge
Tourism is the way our locals make money. No one likes to see a messy, terrible restroom. These people travel here, are here all day and need decent restrooms to use.

I enjoy the downtown area on occasion and see the need for good facilities for both residents and tourists alike

As a frequent visitor to Blue Ridge, I had experienced the restrooms downtown first hand. There is always a line for the ladies room during heavy tourist periods and a few times, one of the toilets or sinks have been out of order. For as many tourists and residents as Blue Ridge hosts annually, the public restroom facilities need to be more reliable, larger and update to newer/better functioning features.

As a shop owner, many people ask me about bathrooms. We do not have facilities for the public, and the ones nearby are not in great shape.

Clean restrooms are important for Blue Ridge downtown visitors. The current ones are worn, dated and smell. They are also very warm in the summer.
