Assemblyman Dov Hikind (D-Brooklyn) today commended The USPS and Postmaster General for Brooklyn Joseph Chiossone for their decision to seek alternate solutions to closing the Blythebourne Station Post Office on Sundays. The Blythebourne Station, a high-trafficked post office located in the heart of Borough Park at 1200 51st Street, was scheduled to close on Sundays effective January 3, 2009.
�
Last week, the Assemblyman condemned the USPS for deciding to close Blythebourne Station on Sundays, electing instead to remain open on Saturdays in a predominantly Orthodox Jewish neighborhood whose residents cannot access Post Office services on the Sabbath. In response to public outcry, Hikind received a phone call this morning from Postmaster General Chiossone who indicated, "Until further notice, The Blythebourne Station will be open on Sundays.? He stated that Saturday closure, among "other options? were now being considered.
"I am gratified that the Post Office has reversed their previous determination and I applaud them for choosing to act in the best interests of their constituency,? said Hikind. "Their decision just makes good business sense in the long-term.?
