Sea Cliff’s Department of Public Works had crews plowing the roads throughout the storm.

Sunday’s major storm closed North Shore schools, forced residents inside and kept Sea Cliff ’s Department of Public Works plowing and salting roads from Sunday morning through Monday afternoon. The Village of Sea Cliff is preparing for a third straight weekend of snow after Sunday’s storm delivered roughly a foot and temperatures well below freezing. “I really am so grateful for the hard work that they put in,” Mayor Elena Villafane said.

Postal policy causes pickup predicament in Glenwood Landing By JULIA CAPITELLI jcapitelli@liherald.com

Unexpected combination changes and unclear communication have caused customer frustration at the Glenwood Landing Post Office in January. While residents claim they are dealing with policy changes, the U.S. Postal Service says nothing has changed. Glenwood Landing residents are provided with no-fee post office boxes because they do not get mail delivered to their homes. The hamlet has not historically had mail delivery to homes because it has had fewer than 750 delivery addresses per route, the number required by

the USPS for home mail delivery. Anyone in the United States who qualifies for a no-fee P.O. box is required by the USPS to complete an annual verification to retain it. According to a statement from Amy Gibbs, USPS spokeswoman for Long Island and Queens, the verification must be completed in person at the post office. To complete the verification, residents are required to fill out forms provided by the post office and show photo identification as well as ID that proves their address qualifies them for a free P.O. box. Glenwood Landing residents are required to show these forms of identifica-

tion to validate their Glenwood Landing address. Gibbs wrote in the same statement that this is not a new policy. However, Glenwood Landing residents claim that the process is more extensive this year. Resident Donna Edquist said that while she did have to submit paperwork confirming her address each year, she has never had to show multiple forms of identification to do so. “We’ve never,” she said, “had to jump through so many hoops.” Residents have been given a deadline of Jan. 31 to complete the verification. Gibbs wrote in the statement

that residents must prove their address, but residents claim that they are being asked to p rove “ h o m e ow n e r s h i p. ” Edquist said the post office used this language when she went to fill out the paperwork and show ID. Among the documents listed on the USPS website as acceptable secondary forms of identification is car registration. Edquist said her

car registration was not accepted at the Glenwood Landing Post Office. Also, among the acceptable secondary forms of identification are mortgage documents, deed of trust and a homeowners insurance policy. Residents say these have been accepted. The USPS website says that not all primary for ms of photo identification may be accepted CONTINUED ON PAGE 14
