In our town they just move the boxes inside the sidewalk so you have to park and get out at each and every box. It even has it's own code in the manual called a "hop". I wish our bosses had the balls of the bosses in your town to push back and make compromises in such situations. It's a super dangerous, body breaking practice to have 100s of "hops". Curb the tires, set the brake, put it in park, turn it off and remove the key, unbuckle the lap and shoulder belt, the door, step out with a twisting step motion, hope for no ice or dogs, then walk 3 feet and deliver the mail. Reverse the cycle, move 200 feet and repeat, repeat, repeat...
We get paid by the hour so the joke always is, "I can't believe they keep coming up with ways to make me more money!"
