I'd have thought it would have been easier to provide them with a seat from Lang Park. Stay classy Queensland!

To be honest, I really don't want to get into an argument with you. But walking your kids past a bloke having a leak, or sitting down eating lunch with the waft of urine generally isn't appealing to most people. If they were down alleyways, that's one thing but they were front and centre in a mixed use area. The public found them so distasteful that the trial lasted less than a fortnight before it was scrapped,but each to their own I guess.bileduct wrote:Why are they disgusting?
If I owned one of the businesses around the kinds of places where these are being installed, do you think I would find them disgusting?
The trials are still going and the urinals operate from midnight to dawn. They are placed in an area with bars, nightclubs and strip joints, where there is a high incidence of drunken morons pissing on shopfront doors and windows.Dr Zaius wrote:To be honest, I really don't want to get into an argument with you.

The mayor has asked for the trial to be discontinued. They were opening hours were originally significantly longer. There are a lot of night clubs in the area but there are equally a number of cafes, restaurants and shops, as well as it being one of the main pedestrian thoroughfares through Surfers.bileduct wrote:The trials are still going and the urinals operate from midnight to dawn.

So if people are happy just to piss where they feel like it, despite facilities being available, how are the urinals going to solve the problem?bileduct wrote:There's public toilets about 40m away, at least from the ones that are positioned at the corner of Cavill and Orchid that seem to have attracted all the attention.
Hence the trial, good doctor.

So how is walking down the road 40m, waiting in line to take a whiz in something that reeks of piss and dealing with a urine soaked floor any different?bileduct wrote:Hence the trial, good doctor.

I would hazard a guess that these urinals have been placed in public pisser hot spots, and that the mindset of the average public pisser is that it's much quicker and more pleasant to take a piss in a shopfront doorway than walk 40m down the road, perhaps wait in line, and then deal with a toilet that is most likely covered in urine and faeces.

Why bother with a trial when they have been trialled and scrapped in other parts of the country? If they insist on a trial why do the trial during the busiest family time of the year. The place is literally teaming with families at the moment. Why not do it an equally busy but far more gross time of year such as schoolies, when no self-respecting individual would set foot in Surfers?bileduct wrote:Well good doctor, perhaps the public pissers are people who don't see public urination as such a big deal and it's therefore not worth the additional effort to walk that distance and possibly wait in a line to take a piss at a time of the day when a lot of these businesses are unattended.
This trial was an attempt to see whether or not those same public pissers, if provided with a quick and convenient solution that is also easy to manufacture and maintain, would opt to use it instead of the Ray White entrance a few metres away.
