Editor,
Foster City has been without a post office since January 2018 when it closed its doors without any notice to the big surprise of all Foster City residents.
All businesses in Charter Square Foster City knew they were closing and/or relocating.
The post office must have known this fact a long time before closing its doors and could have prepared in a timely manner to reopen somewhere in Foster City.
First we were told, a new post office will open on April 1, most probably this was supposed to be a April 1 joke.
Then it was to be opened in July and, according to the latest news article in the Daily Journal, it was supposed to be in November.
It is now past November and there is no knowledge of a post office opening.Â
The holidays are coming and we want to send Christmas cards and packages, we need stamps and envelopes etc.
The residents of Foster City are required to go long distance to a post office in San Mateo. We are inconvenienced for nearly a year.
Calls to the city of Foster City require an extension or the call is disconnected. The U.S. Postal Service gave the South Delaware Street San Mateo office as our local post office.
This is really an unacceptable situation for everyone in Foster City.
When do we get a post office?

Susanne - I drove over to Jackie Speier's office located at 155 Bovet Rd
Suite 780 - San Mateo, CA 94402 Phone: (650) 342-0300 Fax: (650) 375-8270 and about 5 of her reps sitting in her office said a Post Office in Foster City will happen but they/she did not know the exact date.
They's been working on the space at Alma Street, one of the new building, by the newest Starbucks. I asked on Monday when would they be opening, answer was maybe next week? Sure hope so. BTY, don't blame the post office for delay, blame the developers who tried to get a higher rent. And these high rents have driven many a good business out of Foster City. I'm still surprised that someone tried it (higher rent) with a needed government service! Boo on them.
Drove by the new post office tonight and all the lights are on. Looks great. I hope that means PG&E finally flipped the switch.
