I'm thinking so as well. Unlike a "larger" city where they have USPS trucks - out here they hire anyone with a license to deliver mail ... while they officially work for USPS, they are replaced rather often - it's just a side job. For that reason I think the regulations are somewhat ignored as...

Tiny type in a newspaper would have been great :).. I do apologize and you are probably right, I am ranting. Frustrated and I shouldn't bring that here. I am keeping timestamps, notes, as are others.. my research into Wisconsin has turned into a grey area. I don't think we really have much of...

I'll say one thing about where I live ... those that run the town/village are a closely knit family group. They have the money, own most of the local businesses, when elections come up they are the only ones listed for the position, etc. I'm not alone in describing them as "smug", "above...

You are 100% correct. It took multiple people making many phone calls/visits, but the information has slowly been coming in (one small piece of information at a time). What it narrows down to is the village - they not only dropped the ball but they ran away from it and went home. Our street...

Well, thanks for your comments. I do appreciate them.

And I thank all of you for your comments/views on the matter. It will be an interesting time when home taxes are due. There will be several surprised people near by. There is one thing that every single one of us has agreed with (strongly) ... we don't need nor want a (new) sidewalk. Our road...

Agreed. We have since purchased a PO box and are forwarding our mail. Monday & Tuesday this week I've heard several people talking about return to sender issues ... so glad I jumped on the PO box wagon as soon as I could.

Again, if this is all 100% legal (what they are doing and have done) then so be it. We will have to deal with it and our complaints will land in the complaint box and later tossed (the complaint box is nearly full from my understanding - as are the voice mailboxes). My situation on Friday was...

It certainly sounds like what is taking place here is in no way breaking any laws or regulations. Essentially what you are saying is that when a road crew is hired, the homeowner has very few rights and they have to "deal". That was the purpose of my question. The USPS still is concerning a bit...

First name basis on 90%. I'm one of the more critical thinkers. There are 3-4 red-in-the-face types that are less than happy and have expressed their feelings already (which were dismissed). You are 100% correct on the elected part and we've already discussed that. Honestly the 8 or so...

I don't think that way. My point of view is simplistic on this entire ordeal. Why should I (or anyone else in a similar situation) need to spend my money to get around someone else's project and complete lack of planning. Last Friday I was home when the construction company decided to dig a...

Thank you for your quick response. This is what we have been wondering, if it would even be worth while to speak up about this or not. If all we can (legally) do is voice our concerns that is fine ... I'm truly interested to know more in regards to the USPS though. I can't find any information...

Homeowners on my street will be paying for the road, gutter, sidewalk (we already had a sidewalk, they are replacing that as well), all the work being done, etc. This will be added on our taxes for years to come (but we don't know how much or for how long - apparently no one knows). Only us on...

Apologies if this is posted in the wrong place - couldn't find a better/more descriptive area to ask. This is in Wisconsin. Our town/village decided to tear out/rebuild our road, sidewalk, gutter, etc. After speaking to 30 residents on the road, here are the issues (thus far): No notice of...
