SAVE THE BOXES!!
By Martin Farrell — Wednesday, January 31st, 2018
[Publisher’s comments] I’ve had a good conversation with our Postmaster, Bill Thompson. The main issue concerning the re-location, as explained to me, is the safety of his employees. While no accident involving anyone has yet happened, some close calls have occurred over the years. The most damage to the boxes recently was due to a car. This incident was duly reported to the Sheriff’s office. I believe the boxes could be returned to their former location, while safeguarding postal employees, by reconstructing the “island” and placing heavy bollards (steel pipes) on both ends of the box areas. I think complete reconstruction would be best. This would cost money. Who might pay for the work? This is important enough that private funds might be found. Let us know what you think. This is a very valuable postal convenience, at least worth your opinions. You need to speak up! |
