Recent service disruptions sparked a flare up in a decades-old mail delivery battle in Steamboat Springs. Now, residents and city leaders are demanding free P.O. Boxes. via RussellHaythorn
“We’re used to things on mountain time,” said resident Eli Campbell.“It started right around Christmastime,” Campbell said. “We just weren’t getting our mail regularly. And then two days became two weeks — two weeks turned into a month.”
The Postal Service addressed the non-delivery issues by bringing in temporary help, but the disruption in service over the holidays prompted many old issues to float right back to the surface in Steamboat.In much of Steamboat, mail is not delivered. “Depending on what neighborhood you live in here, you may or may not get mail delivery,” Mitchell said.“I went to the city. The city sent me to the post office, which sent me back to the city for approval,” Mitchell said. “Then the city said, 'Get all the utilities to sign off.' Then both said they wouldn’t pay for it. Then the city said we need a letter from the post office stating they would deliver.”“Then one day, I went in, I think she was in a good mood, and she said, ‘Yeah. Okay.
“They’ve been required to come down here to the post office and pay for a P.O. box,” Corrigan said. “That’s fundamentally unfair to the people in our community that can least afford it.”
