I just want a foot pedal to press. Public toilets should also have those just for hygienic reasons.

I really miss these hand washing stations we had in elementary school.

Holy shit that memory just hit me like a sack of bricks

These were in several of the trades buildings in my post secondary. often stocked with fast orange and sunlight industrial.

I'm not sure if this is ADA compliant. It might be the reason why we don't see these very often. I had one of these at work though.

I can only see wheelchairs being an issue, but you need special toilets and sinks for that anyway. Any foot pedal should be able to be activated with a crutch or prosthetic.

ADA compliancy is such a BS hurdle sometimes.

"What about the remaining 0.01%?"

"Well, no, unfortunately it won't work for those edge cases"

"Ewww.... Well it's not allowed then. If a blind man in a wheelchair with a service dog can't use it, then no one can!"
