May 2011

Post office box holders at the Bryte Post Office have been given notice that the station is closing this summer.

April 2010

Congressman Mike Thompson, who represents West Sacramento, visited the Bryte Branch Post Office April 2 after hearing from residents that the long-serving neighborhood facility might soon be closed. USPS spokesman Ralph Petty reassured the congressman during the visit that discontinuance of service at this time is no longer contemplated. The Bryte Branch will remain open for the foreseeable future.

Letter from District Post Office Operations

Letter to Post Office Review Coordinator

February 2010

Many surveys from the community have been submitted. We are awaiting a response from the Postal Service.

January 2010

The USPS has issued a survey to PO box owners in the Bryte Post Office. The survey will determine the interest and usage of this post office location by the community. The Postal Service is considering consolidating services into one branch on Jefferson Ave.

It is urgent that West Sacramento residents complete the survey and mail it before February 10, 2010. Copies of the letter, survey and contact information may be downloaded here.

2009

The Postal Service may consider closing our little branch post office, the Bryte Station at 1548 Lisbon Ave. Your help is needed for a letter-writing campaign to keep the Post Office open. This historic building has been a vibrant and central part of our community for years. We do not want to see it disappear. Our neighborhood is full of older immigrants who depend greatly on our postal branch to conduct postal business with their relatives “in the old country”. Their children, and/or grandchildren have moved away, they don’t speak English very well, they’re not on the internet, and, most importantly, after their experiences in the land of their birth, they may not invite government employees into their homes to pickup packages. They sometimes gather in two’s or three’s in order to help one another communicate with the clerk, and exchange greetings and news from the home they left behind. This branch is an integral, vibrant part of this community’s life.

Contact us if you would like a stamped envelope to send your letter to the USPS Postmaster General... or we will mail your petition for you.
