After years of complaints about the squalid conditions of the Civic Center Post Office at Hyde and Golden Gate, USPS has finally set a date for its relocation.
Starting April 25th, those who rent postboxes at the soon-to-be-demolished 101 Hyde will begin receiving their mail at Fox Plaza (1390 Market St.) USPS is relocating the existing postboxes the previous day; no postbox numbers or zip codes will change.
However, a new location in the Tenderloin for general delivery is still to be determined. Augustine Ruiz, corporate communications manager at USPS, says that come April 25th, they'll be ready to disclose the alternative location for the service.
With permits filed in 2013—but not yet approved—to demolish the one-story building at 101 Hyde, construction on the 85-unit residential complex taking over the site may follow soon.
