One could say the same about “exciting” new highways and roads, which are built without thought of future maintenance costs, and for which we now have billions of dollars in maintenance deficit. The only responsible thing to do is to stop all new highway expansions, new lanes, new roads, and bridges from being built until we can figure out how to pay for the maintenance of what we already have.
And no, the gas tax doesn’t even come close to covering those costs.
I was walking the canal in downtown Indianapolis yesterday and had a thought, along the lines of this editorial. I needed a restroom and NONE were available. It would be easy for the city to build a public bathroom and it would certainly benefit many canal users. Then I started thinking of all the repercussions. Keeping criminals from using them, keeping them clean, plumbing maintenance and I realized that city government would fail in some or all of these obligations.
What might work is a lease deal with an adjacent restaurant. The tenant would provide the upkeep in return for less rent. The restaurant would not have bathrooms of its own, so to keep their customers happy they would keep the bathrooms in tip top shape.
The canal level of the new State Archives building might be a great place for this restaurant and public toilet combo.
