The U.S. Postal Service said Briggs Drive in Harriman is not safe for a mail carrier to turn around.

“It’s terribly frustrating because no one else has a problem getting in or out of here,” said Mike Crow, who lives in one of the homes not getting mail, he said, adding UPS and FedEx have no trouble getting to the homes.

“The street hasn’t changed in over 56 years. The only thing that’s changed has been the postal carrier,” Crow said.
