Pit toilets that were once at the Talkeetna Village Park were moved to the Whigmi Trailhead this week. The Mat-Su Borough Assembly included the project in this year’s CIP, or Capital Improvement Plan.
The pit toilets had been replaced by new facilities with flushing toilets and running water. But the pit toilets remained in the downtown park until this week.
