It will still smell of urine, even without any toilets. Just like the NYC subway.

And the Los Angeles Metro as well.
Actually, if this is the proposed station, it looks quite attractive, compared to a lot of stations I’ve seen.
As for the lack of toilet facilities, if you’re going to have them, you’re going to need someone to CLEAN and maintain them at regular intervals, and over time, that will add up to more than the cost of the station itself.
Completely understandable why they’ve chosen to exclude them from a station that is clearly intended for light travel.
The solution, though, is easy:
Just put a couple of plastic port-a-potties in the parking lot, and have them cleaned every week or few days. Put them in a “fenced enclosure” if their presence on the lot would be considered unsightly.
Far, far better than nothing at all!
