RESOLUTION NO. 3747
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
CARLSBAD, CALIFORNIA OBJECTING TO NEW POSTAL REGULATIONS AFFECTING MAIL DELIVERY IN NEW AREAS
WHEREAS, the U.S. Postal Service is adopting new postal
-
regulations in hopes of improving efficiency; and
WHEREAS, the new regulations require that delivery boxes
in residential areas shall be located at the curb so they can
safely and conveniently be served by the carrier from his vehicle,
or shall be erected at one site (a minimum of three mailboxes);
and ,
WHEREAS, the location of delivery boxes at the curb is not
practical, since they present a safety hazard to pedestrians by
restricting sidewalk width and make enforcement of no parking in
front of mailboxes impractical; and
WHEREAS, the clustering of delivery boxes is not practical
in single family residential developments;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the
City of Carlsbad hereby objects to the new postal regulations
requiring mailboxes to be located at the curb in single family
residential areas.
