City officials unveiled a public toilet at Embarcadero Plaza this past week that is part of a project to replace 25 existing public toilets in San Francisco.

The project is a partnership with the same company, JCDecaux San Francisco, that provided the existing 25 self-cleaning toilets first rolled out in 1994.

In exchange, the company gets the right to install 114 sidewalk advertising kiosks throughout downtown, the Financial District and popular tourist areas - the same number allowed under the original agreement. SmithGroup, a national design firm with a San Francisco office, was chosen as the winner of an invitation-only competition to redesign the public toilets and multi-function advertising kiosks.

As long as SF taxpayers don’t have to pay for these toilets all well & good. Under original 20 yr deal w/this company it seems they are paying for the new toilets in exchange for advertising rights. Big business in advertising! Shame original toilets were not built to last tho!
