USPS Is Forcing Berkeley to Take Legal Action by "Concluding" the Section 106 ProcessĀ 

11/1/2014

On Friday, October 31st, the US Postal Service (USPS) sent their response to the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation (ACHP). The USPS continues to move forward in selling Berkeley's Main Post Office. The USPS refuses to listen to our community, the National Trust for Historic Preservation, the President's Advisory Council on Historic Preservation and their own Inspector General.

Here is a list of the key documents along with links:
  • September 24, 2014: USPS to ACHP requesting an opinion on a finding of No Adverse Effect (NAE) from the sale of 2000 Allston Way, Berkeley's 100-year old Main Post Office.
  • USPS Covenant Proposal for Berkeley's Main Post Office
  • October 24, 2014: ACHP to USPS, advising the USPS that their finding is "unsupported."
  • October 29, 2014: USPS to Berkeley's City Attorney, citing "good business practices" as the reason the USPS won't name the buyer who has contracted to purchase our post office.
  • October 31, 2014: USPS to ACHP stating the USPS "disagrees with your opinion and finds no reason to revise its finding. The submission of this letter concludes the Section 106 process."

The Fight for our Post Office is Heating Up

    ABOUT

    The USPS wants to sell Berkeley's historic main post office. Citizens to Save the Berkeley Post Office is a grassroots group that has come together to block the sale of our heritage, stop service cut backs, and preserve living wage postal jobs.

    Our fight is not unique. Thousands of post office closures across the country mean the largest private auction of public history our nation has ever seen.

    Join the movement and spread the word. Our post office is not for sale.
