Dear Mayor Traboulay:

AS you are aware, Canada Post is upgrading mail delivery
Service in many Canadian communities through the Community
Mail Centre program.

On January 30, 1989 the Council of Port Coquitlam passed a
motion reaffirming its Opposition to the introduction to your
community of the Community Mail Centre program. Your position
concerns us greatly because of the impact on our customers:
approximately one thousand households are not getting the
upgrade in mail service to which they are entitled.

At our February 16, 1989 meeting, you made Suggestions for
changes to mail service in Port Coquitlam which we agreed to
review.

YOu suggested that Canada POSt "phase in" the Community Mail
Centre program by providing delivery through green group boxes
on an interim basis for one year. You also suggested that we

extend hours and locations at which general delivery is
offered.

These suggestions, if implemented, would mean two changes of
delivery within a year and would unnecessarily inconvenience
Our customers.
