Park Slopers may not mind having a shiny new self-cleaning toilet plunked down in the middle of one of their most prominent public spaces, but some Brooklyn Heights residents are seeing brown over the idea. At a meeting Monday night, Community Board 2′s Parks & Rec Committee voted 5 to 2 in favor permitting one of the pay toilets somewhere in the vicinity of Borough Hall and 360 Adams Street but went out of their way to voice opposition to the Department of Transportation’s specific plan to place the potty in the public plaza called Columbus Park just north of Montague Street. “This is hideous,” said committee member Nancy Wolf. How will the Greenmarket people feel about having to put out their vegetables near where people are going to the bathroom?
