KEITH THORPE/PENINSULA DAILY NEWS A prefabricated Portland Loo public toilet is lowered into place on a pad at the edge of the Breezeway public parking lot in the 100 block of West Front Street in downtown Port Angeles on Tuesday. The unit, one of two being installed at the location, replaces the original concrete block public restroom that previously occupied the site, with a third slated for The Gateway transit center. The new facilities are ADA-compliant, require no winterization and will be open to the public 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
