Postal Pushback: Residents Want Mailboxes Moved

DALLAS TOWNSHIP, LUZERNE COUNTY (WBRE/WYOU-TV) Those concerns center around mail delivered by the Dallas Post Office to folks who live on Overbrook Avenue..

Residents we spoke to say…They want their mailboxes relocated to prevent a tragedy.

“You can see the car flying down the hill and it’s dangerous. Plus I live on the berm of the hill so it’s kind of hard for me to see cars coming down.” Said Sandra Touw.

Sandra Touw says Overbrook Avenue in Dallas Township has become a speedway, making her daily trek across the street for her mail a very risky adventure.

“It’s always been dangerous but the hill is getting ever more dangerous with traffic.”

She has lived here for more than 20 years and has seen a steady increase in the amount of traffic. She and other folks here have to cross Overbrook Avenue to get their mail. She says it’s always a challenge, especially in the winter months.

“If it snows and the plow leaves snow I’m on the road trying to get my mail so I could get hit very easily.”

And she says she has had some very close calls… So, she and some of her neighbors would like to have their mailboxes moved to their side of the street. More at PAHomepage.com
