Bathrooms at BART's Powell Street Station open after 20 years
The bathrooms at BART's Powell Street Station open today after 20 years following the Sept. 11, 2011, attacks.
SAN FRANCISCO - BART is reopening the restrooms at its Powell Street station in San Francisco for the first time in 20 years.
The transit agency closed restrooms at 10 of its underground stations in 2001 following the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.
A reopening ceremony is scheduled to take place on Thursday.
BART said there are plans to reopen restrooms at its other underground stations in the coming months.
Restroom attendants will be on hand for at least two months.
