Burnaby plans to replace porta potties in city parks.
Burnaby wants to convert the temporary porta potty washrooms in city parks into permanent facilities – with some that could even be self-cleaning.
“In general, all of the major and destination parks in Burnaby have permanent washrooms and most neighbourhood parks do not,” staff wrote in the report to the parks commission. The porta potties are the cheapest option, but they’re “not always accessible” and not open on a consistent basis. Staff called them the “lowest level of service,” despite the price and quick installation.Staff are exploring a new kind of automatic self-cleaning washroom now available on the market and are planning to pilot one this year.They also have programmable access hours, so their opening hours can be changed remotely, as well as a “programmable self-cleaning floor.
