As was mentioned in an earlier post office update email, the recent meeting with the post office officials on the closing of the CCN post office was most disappointing. The USPS officials did not appear interested in maintaining a post office in CCN. Even with Rep. DeGette’s insistence that the absence of CCN post services was not an option for USPS, there does not seem to be any support from USPS.
Today it was learned that another meeting will be held in Rep. DeGette’s Washington office with additional USPS representatives next week to discuss the CCN post office situation. The CCNNA Board feels that it is time that all CCN residents sent their support for a CCN post office and/or services to both Rep. DeGette and Councilwoman Robb.
Please take a minute to send your email to thank Rep. DeGette and Councilwoman Robb for their support and to continue to fight to preserve our postal services. The email addresses are as follows: (more…)
]]>1. Post Office Relocation - Since the post office does not need or use all of the present space in its current location, another CCN location may be possible. There are certain parking space, loading dock, and other requirements that may need to be met. A new location has not been found at this time.
2. Service Contract - The postal service can contract with another business to provide specified services. It is our understanding that Send ‘Em Packing next door to the post office has been contacted about providing some additional individual post office box space and possibly other services, but Send ‘Em Packing would not confirm any arrangement. There may be USPS requirements that would prevent some businesses from being able to provide full retail postal services, so some post office boxes and services may need to be relocated to the Glendale post office.
3. City Council, Congressional, and USPS Contacts - Contacts have been made to Councilwoman Jeanne Robb and US Representative Diana DeGette about assisting us with this important CCN post office location matter. Councilwoman Robb has contacted Congresswoman DeGette’s staff and is in the process of setting up a meeting with the US Postal Service to discuss ways to preserve a CCN postal service location. A contact has also been made to the Denver USPS Consumer Affairs Director to provide assistance with this matter. The CCN BID is also as concerned as we are about the loss of postal services to the CCN businesses.
What can you do? Since many residents have contacted Councilwoman Robb and Representative DeGette, both are very aware of the CCN post office situation. Councilwoman Robb is working diligently to assist us, so it is suggested that we wait on the results of this meeting with the USPS officials. We are hoping that a suitable location in CCN can be found, and that some minimal lease extension can be negotiated to provide time to relocate without a loss of service. CCNNA will be represented at the meeting and will keep you informed.
If you should have any questions, please let us know. Wayne

Since Western Development is presently constructing Phase III of North Creek on the west side of FP, the construction will be tearing up the western parts of Fillmore Plaza, and Western Development has offered to remove all of the FP concrete surface at the same time. Even though it was not clear what would happen after FP surface demolition, several ideas of temporary planted grass, artificial grass, or some other type of surface were discussed to replace the removed concrete surface until a final design plan is approved and ready for implementation.
