(WXYZ) â Detroit-area post offices are asking customers to clear snow and ice from sidewalks, stairs and mailboxes to help letter carriers deliver snow.
âSnow and ice make delivery dangerous and slow,â said District Manager Richard Moreton, Detroit District, in a press release. âMaintaining a clear path to the mailbox â including steps, porches, walkways and street approach â will help letter carriers maintain consistent delivery service.â
