Great, something else gone from this city:( This just makes me so sad that we seem to be losing all of our small town feel. Are they moving all of the employees? Or will they be cutting people? I use this post office often.

Here's an example of how beautiful a thriving economy is, and how damaging a struggling one is. All these workers, no longer eating and shopping downtown. I was hope they keep their jobs somehow. All the people who bundled a post office trip with other errands, perhaps with less of a reason to come downtown. Yet I know how much less I mail. With email and autopays, I'm not surprised- but it still feels awful, and a step we can not undo. Best wishes to all at risk.

Why Wyandotte? We have a wonderful downtown area. People do come around from other cities and shop there and I know this to be true. We are in need of this post office. In addition, Wyandotte has many senior citizens who depend upon that post office. I am preparing my letter right now to stop the closure. Not everyone emails or pay their bills online. I enjoy receiving a letter in the mail...so sad.

People need to speak up and let everyone locally ( friends and neighbors ) know. Unfortunately many do not watch the council meetings and more do not even read the newspaper .

Completely closing the Post Office in Wyandotte is not a good idea. I think Mayor Peterson's idea to get a satelite office in city hall would be a good move for both the city and the USPS.

Hello. I find it quite ironic that the federal government makes such a huge investment in Wyandotte in the form of NSP money, then decides to close the Post Office, tearing the very fabric of making this a town.

This is very sad to me as well; I use this post office often, sending out orders from my etsy store, and I do bundle my errands with a trip downtown as Pete Rose stated. I hate to hear of even more job losses in the State of Michigan, and especially Wyandotte. I am not too familar with laws, but does this mean our zip code will change as well?

I cannot believe how much Wyandotte has changed since I moved here 8 years ago...many of the aspects of the town that drew me here are gone now and with it much of the charm and small town feel I was seeking. Now no more fireworks and no more post office...just devastating to see this happening.

This upsets me greatly as I use this post office quite a bit to send my EBay items. Wyandotte does not need another loss and I will be filing a complaint about this!

This can be changed, they changed their minds in Homosassa Florida last year with a population less than 16,000 because all spoke up. even though another post office was within several miles..new city hall good idea, or even inside huge new social security building , long as we have a place in our great city.

I think this is horrible. SMART has just cancelled two of their bus routes from Wyandotte and now the Post Office is going. No offense to Southgate, but they don't have the beautiful "downtown" that we do. Somehow going to the Post Office with a huge WalMart nextdoor just doesn't come close to stopping at the post office and then shopping or having lunch in a quaint downtown.

On behalf of the Downtown Development Authority, I urge you to write letters. We have had a post office presence in the City since 1855- twelve years prior to our incorporation as a City in 1867. The Wyandotte Post office brings thousands of people to our downtown and offers an invaluable service to the citizens of our community. Letters may be directed to:

Thank you in advance. Natalie Rankine, Downtown Development Authority

One word on Mr. Donahoe's plan is Stupid! growing up in Wyandotte i walked there with my mom and grandma on several occaisions and they had the friendliest postal people there! Just downright sad. also in regards to Riverview same thing just sad! i remember when Riverview shared Wyandotte's zip code of 48192 and now they won't even have a post office. how sad! small towns were always known for the post office! It was a tourist destination! always when i visited Frankenmuth i'd always stop in the post office to mail my letters! ? if that one is slated to close or not! God bless our postal workers and hope they find a bright future as we enter the holiday season!

This is very sad news. I hope we as citizens can do something about it. I will write these letters. I hope everyone else does too and pass the word on to others encouraging them to write as well. I enjoy having our post office. As a matter of fact I choose to go there to buy my stamps rather than sending in for them because it's a good excuse to go downtown for lunch etc...

Jeez, no more post office, no more fireworks. The next thing you know - no more movie

theatre. Oh, wait a minute, that's gone, too.

Love how Peterson asks when the bleeding will stop. This coming from someone that begged the residents of Wyandotte to pass a millage to bleed them more.
