Self-Cleaning Public Restroom in Downtown Keene

planned

The City of Keene is considering a new public restroom in downtown as part of its Capital Improvement Program. The restroom will be a single-occupancy structure located on Gilbo Avenue between the bike path and a soon-to-be-constructed pavilion. It will feature a self-cleaning mechanism that triggers a deep clean every tenth use, locking temporarily after each cleaning cycle to maintain hygiene and discourage misuse. The structure will be made from durable materials including concrete and tamper-proof stainless steel, with safety features like a 20-minute occupancy sensor.
