City deals with moving mailboxes from work zones

As city sidewalk work progresses, an understanding of property lines and mailbox requirements needs to be shared, according to city officials.

At its April 23 meeting, City Council heard an update on post office mailbox rules and the city’s efforts to deal with homeowners unaware of existing postal and property regulations.

City Director of Engineering and Mobility Jeff Carroll said postal regulations contain no language on mailbox posts, or how a mailbox is attached, other than specific rules on efficiency of service.
