VICTORIA, British Columbia (UPI) -- Officials in the capital of British Columbia said the Canadian city's first street urinal may soon be joined by two more, including one for women. Victoria Mayor Dean Fortin said the urinal, installed in September at the intersection of Government Street and Pandora Avenue, has been successful in helping to curb public urination after bars close and officials are looking to add two more street urinals to the city's arsenal, the Victoria Times Colonist reported Thursday. Fortin said at least one of the new urinals is to be modified for use by women, including adding a gate to the green steel poles surrounding the urinal for added privacy. "We do have to reflect the comments of so many women, which was either you put a gate on it or I'm not going to use it," Fortin said.
