Super boxes will be here by Christmas by Rob Streich Canada Post is finalizing lans for the community mail xes which will be in service here by Christmas. Connie Read, Manager of Delivery Services, said she was pleased with the progress being made to negotiate appropriate sites in Port Perry. During the last few weeks, Canada Post employees have been canvassing Port Perry, trying to select the best sites for residents' and municipal in- terests. Many people have either received a personal visit, or they have found a card at their door, telling them that there is a candidate site for a communi- ty mailbox near them. Mrs. Read explained that the community boxes will de- liver many benefits, and will not detract from present servic- es. "The boxes will provide on- site parcel delivery as well as outgoing mail. "You can access the boxes at any time you want and there are no parking problems - or line up problems - as they will be in walking distance from "your home." The fears of some residents that the new community boxes will be like the unsightly 'green boxes' were allayed by Mrs. Read. "These boxes will not rust, they are made of alumi- num (alloy) and are much bet- ter than the green boxes."

Mostly, Mrs. Read reports, peo- ple have a lot of questions about how the changes will be under- taken. People using the commu- nity box service will all receive new postal codes, and will be re- quired to use their street ad- dress. For a year, said Mrs. Read, there will be automatic redirection of mail under the old postal code, to allow people to notify their correspondents. Canada Post will also pro- vide change of address notifica- tion cards free of charge. Mrs. Read said,"Canada Post has precise location crite- ria to apply. We like to put (the boxes) on sidewalks where pos- sible, and in safe locations away from corners and stop signs." Township officials have been asked for input concern- ing any possible problems with snow removal, or areas of dense traffic. With a maximum of 38. families served at each site, the boxes are to be located not more than 600 feet from the resi- dences they serve. Mrs. Read explained that this was the best solution to the overcrowded conditions at the Port Perry Mail Office.
