So a mailbox is located in a convenient spot for at least 40 (?) years, or my entire memory. Then someone complains that traffic is coming to a stop while people mail letters (on a 25mph road mind you, deep in a residential neighborhood that has often had speeding problems and never "traffic" problems). Then the police do a "traffic survey" and, presumably with no involvement of the neighborhood association or the city councilman (?), direct the movement of the mailbox from its half-century or more location to a new spot? How about the mailboxes along Post Road in Apponaug, very close to police headquarters, where people are whizzing by at 40mph or more as other cars pull in and out to deposit mail without getting out of their cars? So peculiar that WPD would do this. As an aside, there was near uproar in the late 80s or early 90s when WPD insisted that stop signs be placed at the Namquid (but not the Algonquin) rotary, without neighborhood input. Now I guess they are changing their mind, again without neighborhood input. My grandfather, who hated the stop signs when they were put in because he liked to speed through the neighborhood, would feel vindicated now, were he still alive.
