As far as I'm concerned, many of the customers have no been accommodated. As I said a cart path around the back would have made a lot of sense, not only for me but for about half of the people who have a box there.

Also, there are only twelve parking spaces. One is handicapped and one is taken by a USPS vehicle that seems to be there 24/7. This is going to be a problem during the holidays. I understood that the property that the old post office sits on was going to be a parking lot. But there is an impassable median strip between that property and the new parking lot.

My particular box is at the very top. I am six feet tall and have to stretch to see what's in the box. My wife is 5'2" and she'd need a step stool to get our mail.

I guess they got tired of emptying the junk mail from the trash because there are no trash receptacles.

IMHO, this could have been done a lot better.
