Despite harsh words from a congressman and pleas from dozens of residents and business owners, the Postal Service remains intent on closing two processing centers affecting the mail service of hundreds of thousands of North Coast residents.

Postal Service spokesman James Wigdel in San Francisco reiterated this week that the 2012 decision to close the facilities hasn’t changed.

 “This process began back in 2011 and continued to 2012. The final decisions were made in 2012,” he said. “We held public meetings. We received letters from customers that had concerns and we tried to answer any of the concerns that were raised at the time. All of the public input was considered prior to making the final decision.”

In a cost-cutting effort, the USPS plans to close the Petaluma and Eureka mail centers and move the work elsewhere in the Bay Area, displacing workers and lengthening the time it will take to deliver letters and packages.
