WOODLAND, CA — The United States Postal Service is considering relocating the retail services currently provided at Woodland Midtown Station Post Office located at 108 W. Main Street, Woodland, CA 95695 to a new location within the area bordered on the north by Court Street, on the south by Lincoln Avenue, on the east by Cleveland Street, and on the west by Ashley Avenue.

The Postal Service is considering relocation because the Postal Service has outgrown the facility. The new facility will accommodate Woodland Midtown Station retail, letter carriers as well as the relocation of some of the letter carriers currently working out of the Woodland Main Post Office located at 720 Court Street, Woodland, CA 95695.

The relocation project will consist of procuring a suitable substitute location, preparing the new location for use as a post office and then transitioning the retail services to the new location. The Postal Service will continue retail services at the current location until the new post office is up and running. There would be no impact to delivery operations or mail service.

Normally, we would set up a public meeting to discuss the potential relocation with the community. But with the pandemic impacting communities, particularly as it relates to the guidance to reduce public gatherings, the usual process of holding a community meeting to discuss the planned relocation would be a risk for our employees and customers.

Instead, the Postal Service will post the information required to be presented at the public meeting in the lobby of the current post office and mail a copy to all members of the community. In this posting, the Postal Service will identify the specific need the Postal Services faces, outline the proposal to meet the need through relocation, solicit written input on the proposal, and provide an address to which the community and local officials may send written appeals of the tentative decision and comments on the proposal. Appeals and comments will be accepted for a period of 30 days following the posting.

Written comments are also being accepted until December 17, 2020. Please submit written comments to:

United States Postal Service
Attn: Woodland, CA – Midtown Station Relocation
P.O. Box 27497
Greensboro, NC 27498-1103

The Postal Service receives no tax dollars for operating expenses and relies on the sale of postage, products and services to fund its operations.
