ANCHORAGE, Alaska - The entrance of the building housing KTUU-TV, Alaska’s News Source, which is across the street from a large homeless camp near Cuddy Park, had multiple bags of human waste spread across its front entrance Friday night.
“Defeated, very frustrated. I feel embarrassed right now, but I just didn’t know what to do,” Butcher said. Mike Braniff, director of the Parks and Recreation Department, says he would like to add more porta-potties at the camps, but he was told most of them were being used at the Alaska State Fair. Alaska’s News Source asked a spokesperson for the municipality who is in charge of taking responsibility for everything, including human waste, when it involves the homeless camps in town.
“Mayor Bronson has requested that bathrooms, dumpsters, and handwashing stations be made available at the three large homeless encampments: 40th and Denali, 3rd and Ingra and Davis/snow dump. These sanitation stations have been provided and are scheduled for daily cleaning. Parks and Recreation have doubled the number of facilities at 3rd and Ingra from four bathrooms to eight in the last week.
