Downers Grove Post Office Annex relocating By Robin Ambrosia Staff Reporter
A
card mailed to residents announcing the immediate closing of the Downers Grove Post Office Annex caused quite a lot of anguish recently. “The phone has been ringing off the hook all day with residents asking questions,” said Velma Lewis, customer
service superintendent. “The card should have said relocating instead of closing.” Operations at the Downers Grove Post Office Annex, located at 2081 63rd St., were relocated to the Woodridge Post Office as of June 7. According to Lewis, the annex was opened three years ago when operations outgrew the Downers Grove Post Office at 920 Curtiss St.
The annex was used primarily for carriers distributing 60516 and 60517 mail and limited public services. Residents in 60515 will not be affected, continuing to utilize the downtown Downers Grove facility. However, 60516 and 60517 residents will need to pick up held vacation mail, items that need a signature and items too large for a mailbox at the Woodridge Post Office located at 2 Plaza Drive.
“My first thought was that the whole Downers Grove Post Office was closing today,” said resident Laura Petrie.“It stinks that now I have to go to Woodridge which is a longer drive.” Effective June 8, mail carriers will distribute 60516 and 60517 mail using the Woodridge facility and will not affect the general public.
