Mail carriers have been told to "slow down",

[SeattleVet]

21. They sent a notice to people on some streets in Seattle that they will be stopping home delivery.

Seattle has closed several miles of streets in a 'Stay Healthy Streets' plan that allows only delivery and residents, along with a mix of pedestrians and bicycles.

Residents on some of those streets recently got the following note from the USPS that it was no longer safe for the letter carriers to drive/deliver on those streets, so people would have to go to a main branch office a few miles away to pick up their mail, on weekdays between 8AM and 4PM. Yeah, that'll work for the people that have to go to work on a regular basis, or the seniors in the neighborhood that get medications delivered by mail, and others that may not be able to make the trip to get their mail.



(One resident posted today that they did get their mail, so they may have delayed or modified this action.)
