Cluster mailboxes are how we receive our mail in the master planned community of Canyon Creek. About 8 weeks ago someone ran into the boxes in my section of the community at night and rendered them inoperable (from neighbors I learned the car didn’t sustain much damage)! It’s located right by one of the crosswalks at the elementary school.  Last year we received new cluster boxes as the old ones dated back to the 1990’s. I’m sure the City of Austin does not want to replace them again but we have to go to the Post Office 8 miles away to pick up our mail! The Post office said it could be 6 months to a year before they are replaced! I stopped at the Post Office to pick up my mail and ran into someone on my street and 2 streets over! We stood, laughed and talked. The gal on my street and I ... 04/23/2024
