The Editor:
It is somewhat baffling that [Port Coquitlam] council sees fit to expend thousands of dollars to install washroom facilities at the Blakeburn Lagoon.
I have nothing but kudos to PoCo council for the great job they do, but, on this, you have struck out on three straight pitches.
Washroom(s) are not needed — the lagoon is not a full day adventure.
It's for a casual walk to see nature [and] not a place for when nature calls!
The facilities will only bring graffiti and senseless vandalism.
Unfortunately, that's what society has reared of late.
Council should look at maybe using the potty fund for better and quicker snow removal given that over the last many years we, as well as other local municipalities, have not done a stellar job and have been caught with their pants down.
No pun intended.
