The conversion of door-to-door mail delivery to community mailbox pick up in South Bayview is said to be scheduled to begin in 2018 and continue through 2019, according to a report in the Toronto Star. This report is based on a plan which has been prepared by Canada Post for City Council and which has not yet been released. It is expected to come before council in the next few days. An amazing revelation is that door-to-door delivery will be permanently continued by Canada to the residents and businesses in what is called the Downtown Core, an area south of Bloor St. The plan divides Toronto into three such areas. The others include Dense Urban, the area known as mid-town and including South Bayview and all the neighbourhoods of Rosedale, Summerhill, Davisville, Moore Park, Leaside, Lawrence Park, Forest Hill and areas to the north. The third area is Urban, all of the suburbs as we know them — Etobicoke, North York and Scarborough. It includes a staggering 670,,987 addresses and is scheduled to begin conversion in 2017.
