Personally, I've never viewed the Canada Post superboxes as "eyesores" or "ominous". They blend into the typical Canadian streetscape and are no more remarkable than street lamps, signs, artificial concrete sidewalks or paved roads.
As far as security is concerned, as someone who lives in a household where no one is around the take the mail in during the day, I'd much rather have something confidential delivered to my locked superbox down the street than have it delivered to an unlocked mailbox near my front door that anyone can access freely.
- graeme 13y agoI'm not relishing the sight of these in Montreal. I don't think they'll blend in: http://www.thestar.com/content/dam/thestar/news/canada/2013/12/11/canada_post_5_key_changes_you_need_to_know/mailbox.jpg.size.xxlarge.letterbox.jpg http://www.thestar.com/content/dam/thestar/news/canada/2013/...
- brandon272 13y agoThat's ugly! I've never seen that type of configuration before. Typically what I've seen are the individual boxes peppered throughout neighbourhoods.
- graeme 13y agoOh, that would be much better. I just grabbed one of the first images that came up in a search. Could be the media purposefully choose ugly options to sensationalize the story.
- krrrh 13y agoWow, I've also never seen that many together. Its somehow not surprising that Canada Post couldn't get it together with the city to intersperse those with recycling boxes. Disgusting.
- fmdragon 13y agoCome on, don't be such a NIMBY.
- graeme 13y agoI don't think that's a proper use of NIMBY. NIMBY refers to something like a waste treatment plant. Society needs it somewhere, and everyone would prefer it to be in someone else's backyard. This mailbox proposal would put mailboxes in everyone's backyard.
