HPP should build their own private post office. No more roadside boxes just rental boxes located in a safe building.
Another option.
You did factor in the cost of the land to build the private mail station, the taxes on that developed property each year, the cost of routine maintenance, electricity to provide lights, security cost, of course ADA compliance since it's a mail station?
If polled, what do you think the majority of the property owners will say who:
1. Already have cluster box service and are being asked to give it up, pay a new assessment to get what they already have, maybe have to drive further to get their mail, and could be responsible for regular ongoing maintenance cost?
2. Who don't have cluster boxes but can co-op with the others on the street to get them for a one-time fee and no yearly cost, and not have to drive further?
3. The property owners who will live around this mail station with its increase traffic at all hours of the day and night and potential increase noise and litter?
4. Those that prefer P.O. or PMB boxes and already are paying additional cost and have no desire to take on an additional startup cost and monthly cost that they don't plan on using?
5. Let's not forget those who are just sitting on the land (like my folks) and have nothing delivered there.
I think the first thing you’ll hear is a call for speed-bumps around the mail station and the streets leading to it, or is that another topic?
