2. COMMENTS
2.1 After consideration of the request from Canada Post, I
would advise that the installation of a community mail box
on this site would cause no difficulty to this department
under certain conditions.
(1) That the boxes be installed in the northeast corner
of the property in a manner that does not restrict
in any way, the visibility of vehicles leaving the
station.
(2) That vehicular traffic on the station ~2 site, from
people picking up their mail in no way affects fire-
fighters responding to the station in emergency
situations.
3. CONCLUSION
3.1 It is, therefore, respectfully recommended that this report
be received, and consideration be given to allowing Canada
Post to install community mail boxes on the Station t2
property in Newcastle Village.
Respectfully Submitted,
-__LY,_--- -` - ---

Dear Mr. Creighton:

JuM xi isso
FIRE DEPARTMENT
Canada Poet is planning to implement mail delivery by Community
Mailboxes in The Village of Newcastle in September, 1990.
We are presently siting locations for the boxes throughout the
Village and find that we need a location to serve the south aide
of King St. E. from 187 to 361 King St. E.
Canada Poat is requesting authorization to place a Community
Mailbox on the property of the Fire Station at 247 King St. E.,
Newcastle. The proposed location would be against the chain link
fence at the east end of the property.
Thanking you in advance for your consideration in this matter.
Sincerely,
Dea Blacquiere
Delivery Specialist
