New USPS Mailbox
October 21, 2019
A new USPS mailbox has been installed at the NE corner of Livingston and Newton. Many thanks to the neighbor who proposed this addition! This mailbox has a new, secure design that prevents thieves from removing items from the box. As a consequence of this security feature, only letters, not packages, can be deposited in this mailbox, which is oriented so that pedestrians can easily deposit mail.
Pickup time is 3:00 PM Monday - Saturday.
