TO: The Honorable C Council
FROM: Susan Cauldwel , sistant to the City Manager
DATE: March 13, 1991
SUBJECT: Relocation of Post Office
The Post Office moved from its former location on High Street to
the Town Center in late 1984. As you are aware, this move has
resulted in a decrease in pedestrian traffic in the downtown area.
The downtown study, which was completed in 1989, recommends that
the City "create a downtown meeting/ marketplace that will help
renew the vitality of High Street...". Returning the Post Office
to the downtown area will increase pedestrian and vehicular traffic
in the area and may also result in increased awareness of other
services available in the downtown area.
Because the Postal Service is a federal agency, it would be
appropriate to discuss this matter with Congressman Elton Gallegly
to see how he may assist in the proposed relocation.
Staff Recommendations
Staff recommends that the City Council concur with the proposed
relocation of the Post Office to the downtown area and direct staff
and the Council's Community Development Committee to begin
discussions with Congressman Elton Gallegly's office to pursue this
matter.
