Question:
Does anyone have
municipal regulations on residential mail boxes? In a recent conversation with
the Post Office, its regulations on mailbox construction are not always adhered
to, which results in delay of service and other problems (likely due to lack of
communication/knowledge). Interestingly, new mail boxes do not officially become
property of the US Post Office until after 10 days of postal service. Anyone
out there working with the Post Office to communicate/ regulate standards?
Responses.

Question:
Is there anything
that would legally preclude Texas cities from preserving rights of way for
future rapid transit (regardless of mode, and independent of roads) and major
regional bike/ped trail corridors through their identification in the Master
Thoroughfare Plan, much in the same way that arterial roadway corridors are
preserved? Do you know of any cities that are doing this? Or other techniques
being used?
Responses.

Question:
I am looking for
information on both Telecommunications Master Plans and Hazardous Waste Routes.
In Fairview, we are trying to compile information on city wide communication
plans. We are wondering if any other city has this type of master plan
or information that would help us in writing a plan of this nature.
