Postal worker warns South Shore post office closing earlier than announced; urges customers to check alternatives
Summary
A postal employee told Erie County Council that the South Shore post office at Sixth and Poplar Street is closing sooner than previously posted and said some published information about temporary service locations is incorrect; he urged residents to check for accurate details.
Pete Zigler, a postal worker, told the Oct. 21 council meeting that the South Shore post office at Sixth and Poplar Street is closing and that earlier notices had given one date while the closure was moved up to Oct. 31.
Zigler said some customers—particularly those without personal transportation—had been given incorrect information about where to access services during the closure. He said only one lobby in the city remains open 24 hours (2108 East 30 Eighth Street) and corrected earlier notices that suggested using the Legion Road location for 24-hour access.
Zigler asked attendees to note the faster timeline and said he planned to raise further questions after the meeting. The transcript records this as public comment; no council motion or response about the post office was recorded during the Oct. 21 meeting.
