I would suggest that they eliminate walk up home delivery. In the nice suburbs the postman walks great distances between homes and takes hours to deliver to just a few streets. Go to all mailbox at the curb delivery. For the disabled a permit similar to the parking permit would be available to indicate at the door delivery. If more economy is needed I would be perfectly happy to go to every other day residential delivery. MWF for one set of homes, TRS for the other. Each mailman thus doubles her territory. If you are a business operating out of a home, or a homeowner who insists they need daily service, then you pay a fee to buy that additional service, or you rent a PO box where you can go daily to receive your mail. Not sure how I would handle the question of a business address getting daily mail or every other day.
