Residents in Moline, Illinois are
beginning to get worried that getting their mail is turning into a dangerous
situation. Cluster Mailboxes were placed at an intersection and temporary
relocated while construction was done on a road. With the road completed, residents were excited to get their
mailboxes moved back to in front of their house, but they received news that
these mailboxes will remain at the busy
intersection. Residents have already begun arguing their side of the story to
city council members in hopes to get the permanent decision back to normal. The
residents argue that the cluster boxes are already creating traffic backups at
busy times of the day, and when the weather gets worse the problems will also get
worse. One resident even said, "We're 69 years old we don't need to be
coming down here risking our life trying to get our mail." The postal
service argues cluster boxes are much more efficient to fill, and cost less
than driving house to house. The residents love their new street but not the
location of their new mailboxes.
