We want the City of Mississauga to conduct a study on the effects of community mailboxes in the City of Mississauga and the impact on city resources and the downloading of these costs to taxpayers. To lobby the Federal Government to maintain door to door mail delivery.
Why is this important?
Taxpayers must know the costs around the installation of community mailboxes. The city of Hamilton just put out a report on the costs. It's going to cost taxpayers $522/site and an overall cost of 2.1 million that the taxpayers of Hamilton will have to pay. When community mailboxes are installed near a homeowner, studies have shown it decreases property values. The City of Mississauga shouldn't have to be burdened with additional costs and decreased service.
