We tried that (painted curb red), but were told that only the city can declare no parking zones. We can't even do 'no parking' cones because it's not illegal to block a mailbox (it is to block a driveway, and we've dealt with that, too), unfortunately.
I'd love to do that--no dice in this city. Bummer.
What time does your mail come?
Maybe a group effort to have the boxes restored to house delivery? Who knows, though. We have so little power.
One of these by the mail box with painted curb.
Most days this year around 10 am. To be fair, the P.O. has tried in this arena--it used to be delivered around 2:30pm, when parents are gathering to pick up kids. We do get more daily mail in the last year than we ever have--lol.
Do you have large, hungry box destroyers????
Hmmm... Do you think it would help if I get a mailbox made to look like it?
A fake fire hydrant next to, not blocking the mailbox,is a Lawn Decoration.
Write a letter to you mayor. I had an issue crop up and I shot out a letter to my mayor, his second in command, the road department, safety department -- every department I could think of. I sent it in the morning, by that afternoon, it was fixed.
Write your mayor and cc everyone from the mayor, school, the police who patrol the area, the city road department, post office --absolutely anyone having anything to do with this. They have an email address. Do it today. I bet you get an answer this week.
THe high ups don't like to deal with this sh*t. They get it taken care of.
Interesting! I'll have to give that some thought
Thanks, Spidey
And
these people's names are on the city web site. cc the principal of the school and the superintendent. Post office head honcho and your mail carrier. I'm telling you what, this is ONE thing I am good at. And the more people you include in the initial letter, well, everyone has eyes on them now. When you talk to one person, they can sweep you under the rug, when you include many people, especially top dogs, they don't want to be called out.
LOL. Don’t know about now, but come winter it’s more the pumpkin spice latte drinking yuppies and their BMW mailbox destroyers, who are too much in a hurry to go swooshing down the slopes, or on their way home after getting sloshed.Do you have large, hungry box destroyers?
Now that I like. And I could always call it "mailbox art." On the downside, I might feel a bit guilty hosing people out of their cars.
Thing is if someone sees it they'll avoid it. Anyone crashing into it would do so by accident, as it were.Now that I like. And I could always call it "mailbox art." On the downside, I might feel a bit guilty hosing people out of their cars.
