Other Updates
o Request from resident at 305 Steamboat to allow mailboxes on opposite side of street from
where currently located. Issues having mail delivered due to vehicles parked too close to
mailboxes as currently placed. States other residents having same issue. Commissioners
believe issue is with Post Office and believe moving mailboxes to opposite side would cause
issues with traffic as shoulder space on that side is needed to allow cars to pass each other
since road is narrow. Believe placing mailboxes together in one accessible location would be
better solution. Affected residents should discuss with post office for solutions.
