“While public urination might be an incredibly liberating experience, it is against the law and it does turn otherwise pleasant streets into festering stinkpits that regular folks like to avoid. This is presumably the reason that the Urilift was constructed in Reading (for a grand total of $100,000). Throughout the day, the Urilift goes unnoticed beneath the feet of passing pedestrians, but between the hours of 10 p.m. and 3 a.m. it springs into action, saving the streets of Reading from drunken micturition.”  source
