Officials said the Postal Service
is being hit by a wave of retirements — often leaving less
experienced mail carriers who are still getting up to speed on
their routes. Owens said USPS is trying out a pilot program to
better train new mail carriers. Douglas Park is hilly, with
few businesses or large apartment buildings. That means that a
mail carrier needs to walk for much of their route, which can
be exhausting and makes the route less desirable for
experienced letter carriers.
