City to install robust Portland Loo public toilet this year
City officials plan to install a $150,000 public-use Portland Loo toilet somewhere in the downtown core this spring or early summer, having narrowed down two spots for the unit that has been sittimg in storage since it was bought in early 2021.
One possible location is somewhere on the 4600 Block of Lakelse Ave. and the other is at the city-owned former Terrace Co-op site where the city has already placed a far less sophisticated porta-pottie outdoor toilet. “A final decision on the installation location will be made in the coming one to two months and staff will schedule the installation for spring or early summer 2023,” said city communications officer Tyler Clarke.
To finance its $150,000 purchase the city dipped into a provincial grant meant to cover COVID-caused expenses in the earlier days of the pandemic. That followed unsuccessful grant applications made by the city to cover the cost.
