(The contractor will install the posts and mailboxes.) <br /> <br />The following is in the City Code, Chapter 202, Public Improvements: <br /> <br />j. In projects involving new street construction, and mill and overlays, mailboxes will be <br />grouped on gang posts in numbers logical to the spacing required. This practice will <br />insure the proper placement of the mailboxes, reduce potential roadside hazards, and <br />generally clean up the edge of the street. The cost of the new posts and installation <br />will be added to the project. Residents of overlays and mill and overlays may request <br />the new posts and installation, which will be added to the cost of the project.
