From: Congresswoman Lucille Roybal-Allard

I am writing to alert you of important decisions being made at the United States Postal Service (USPS) in the very near future that may impact you directly.
As you may be aware, the USPS is experiencing an unprecedented financial crisis and among the many actions being taken to address the situation is the review of what the USPS terms as low-activity post offices for possible closure or consolidation. It is my understanding that the post offices being studied were identified based on activity in retail sales, foot traffic, revenue and proximity to other post offices.
As part of the review process, the USPS is holding community meetings to receive feedback from the public regarding each post office they are considering for closure or consolidation.
It has come to my attention that the following eleven post offices in our 34th Congressional District have been identified as having low-activity and are being studied for possible closure. The list below provides the name and address of the post office being considered for closure along with the community meeting location, date and time.

I encourage you to attend the meetings and share this information with anyone else who would be interested in attending to express their opinion on the possible closure or consolidation.
The USPS has stated that notices and a survey form have been mailed to all postal patrons within the postal code of the post office being reviewed. I also encourage you to complete and return the survey, particularly if you are not able to attend the meeting in person to express your concerns or opinion.
Sincerely,
