Alderman Fioretti to Walk a Mile in a Letter Carrier’s Shoes

Who:
Alderman Robert Fioretti, 2nd Ward
U. S. Postal Service, Nancy B. Jefferson Station

When:
Thursday, June 26, at approximately 8 a.m.

Where:
Nancy B. Jefferson Station
2419 W Monroe St

Background:
As part of its ongoing community outreach, the Chicago District has extended an open invitation to aldermen interested in learning more about mail delivery in their wards. In these visits, aldermen begin the morning with the carrier as he/she prepares the day’s letters, magazines, and packages for delivery, then accompany the carrier on a portion of the route. These opportunities help aldermen understand the process of delivering mail in Chicago neighborhoods, and give letter carriers extra information on how best to serve their customers.

Aldermen interested in arranging a walk with a letter carrier may contact Mark Reynolds at (312) 983-8371.
