In last month?EUR??,,????'???s PMBR News, we mentioned the Georgia Department of Transportation code considers a mailbox with a support structure of stone or masonry a ?EUR??,,????'??right-of-way encroachment,” while in Council Bluffs Iowa, a developer just got the go ahead to install brick mailboxes (not larger than 60?EUR??,,????'?? tall, 42?EUR??,,????'?? wide and 27?EUR??,,????'?? deep) on city right-of-ways with speed limits of 25 mph or less.
The Saginaw County (Mich.) Road Commission is reportedly so upset about brick mailboxes that it is urging that the U.S. Postal Service to only deliver mail to ?EUR??,,????'??break-away?EUR??,,????'?? mailboxes.
The commission asserts brick, concrete or stone mailboxes are road hazards. One Saginaw homeowner wryly told the local paper his behind the curb brick mailbox was only a hazard to motorists who drive on lawns.
Still, concrete, brick and other ?EUR??,,????'??hardscape?EUR??,,????'?? mailboxes are proliferating, particularly in newer, upscale subdivisions.
