Closing Bell: Petition to Keep Columbia St. P.O. Open

Columbia Street Waterfront-area residents who don’t want to see their small post office (really a “contract postal unit”) close, as planned, can now sign an online petition aimed at trying to keep it open. The petition, which only had a few dozen signatures as of this morning, says the following, in part: “There is no other postal service in the area. The closest one is the Red Hook Main post office which many can tell you is very undesirable due to the lack of proper customer service and its hard to park location.The community is frustrated with the fact that the Postal Union and the Private Service Sector Unit of the USPS is terminating the contract. Please help us fight to keep this 17 year old establishment from being shut down.”
