Officials are asking residents to clear enough snow from curbside boxes to allow mail trucks to approach the box, deliver the mail, and drive away from the box without danger of the need to back up.
Walkways should also be cleared of snow and ice, allowing enough traction to avoid slips, trips, or falls. Additionally, steps should also be kept clear of ice and snow and in good repair so as not to cause injury to the letter carriers or others who visit the customer’s home. Overhangs should be clear and free of snow and ice to avoid injury.
