Boerum Hill Association: Replace Times Plaza — With a ‘Real’ Post Office
Brooklyn Daily Eagle

After years of complaints about the Times Plaza Post Office, the Boerum Hill Association (BHA) is gathering hard data — via a survey — to take to the Post Office management and elected officials. The Times Plaza Station is on Atlantic Avenue between Third and Fourth avenues. Complaints range from misdelivered mail and undelivered packages to long lines and unprofessional staff. Many residents say that they try to avoid the Post Office altogether, using UPS or FedEx instead. Others get their packages delivered to friends in other neighborhoods.A statement sent to Boerum Hill Association members by Joel Potischman, vice president of the Boerum Hill Association, says, “BHA volunteers and many others have met with Times Plaza managers over the years [nobody seems to last long] and our elected officials. We are always promised improvements, but fixes, if any, are modest and short-lived.
“For this reason the BHA now demands that Times Plaza be replaced. The facility was outgrown decades ago, but because USPS only rents the space, they cannot make the changes necessary to run it efficiently. Continued neighborhood growth, plus Atlantic Yards, will only make the situation worse.”
