Dear Mayor,

My Husband and myself have recently moved into the Citadel Heights
Subdivision. We were shocked to discover that there isn't any
door to door mail delivery. Although, almost directly across the
street from where we live there is an unsightly row of Green Mail
Boxes placed on the edge of Parkland.

We strongly object to the use of this primitive method of mail
delivery. Also, these mailboxes are a definite eye sore. Mail-
boxes placed on the edge of Parkland is also unacceptable.

The litter that accumulates around these boxes is another problem.

We were also disturbed by the article in The Coquitlam Now Paper
Which I have enclosed. What do you mean Canada Post is impossible
to deal with? Canada Post is you and I the Tax Payer. City
Council has succumbed to these rows of Mail Boxes? What is the
meaning of that statement. If it is to mean our neighborhoods
must be littered with these ugly Mail Boxes you can count on a
definite Lobbying effort from this Neighborhood to keep them out
of our area. How would you like them in front of your House
instead.

These mailboxes seem to be a small problem to resolve and yet
we are told it has been going on for three years. If Council
cannot solve this minor problem what will they ever do about
rapid transit, needed Schools and facilities that are not
keeping up with the growth in construction here.

Sincerely,

SO
