"Nearly four years after floating the possibility, the city Department of Parks and Recreation is preparing for a trial run of prefabricated, kiosk-like bathrooms that cost a fraction of the multimillion-dollar price tag for building traditional restrooms.
The five Portland Loo toilets, made by an Oregon-based metal firm, cost roughly $185,000 each, according to a Parks Department spokesperson.
But the overall budget to buy and install five Portland Loos, in one pilot location in each borough, starting as early as summer 2024, could reach as much as $5.3 million."

What's their reason for denying? Did you plant them in already existing pits with no trees?

I submitted requests for tree planting and DPR automated email said "will respond within 720 days". What a great functioning city we have

This should be all around the city, not just in parks. The problem here is that the cost of anything in this city is insanely high compared to other cities.
