Several years ago after a few acts of vandalism on mailbox clusters, the PO told us they would not pay to replace any more boxes. They had no funds. If that was true, why would they install new boxes to replace perfectly functioning boxes already in place? The existing boxes cost nothing, and there is no labor cost to install them.
Has someone said the PO would shut existing boxes down? Who?
Yes I recall the Postmaster saying a few years ago that we would have to pay for our own boxes if we wanted more of them. They are now donating 4,000 boxes. The cluster boxes we now have in HPP I believe will be moved to the centralized locations. The idea is to get them off the main roads where it currently imposes danger to us and the mail carriers. It'll be easier to deliver in centralized locations as well.
How they will do all this hasn't been brought up yet. But our physical addresses will be on the boxes. This is at the Postmaster's request. HPP will have to organize the whole shebang.
