Help the letter carrier be safe

With winter and lots of snow already present in the city, certain services will be operating slower than normal.
This can change, though, with the help of the community, as the U.S. Postal Service points out.
“The Postal Service treats safety and service with equal priority, and we are seeking your help to ensure that you get the kind of service you need and expect and our letter carriers are safe from the perils they face during the winter,” said U.S. Postal Service Triboro District Manager Lorraine Castellano.
With the risk of a slip or fall highly greater during the winter months, it is important to keep walkways and areas around the mailbox clear to avoid any potential accident.
“Your help in this regard is deeply appreciated by your letter carrier and all the many men and women who work together to make sure you receive the best possible mail delivery,” Castellano said.
