PONCHA SPRINGS, Colo. (KOAA) — The only post office in the small town of Poncha Springs closed in October. Since then, residents have had to pick-up and drop-off their mail in neighboring Salida.
As a business owner, Todd Sigmier drops off packages daily. He says traveling 10 miles roundtrip is inconvenient, but it is the lack of communication from the United States Postal Service to residents that he is most frustrated with.
“It is what it is, but if the post office could just be more open, transparent,” Sigmier said. “Just communicate with their customers.”
Like all residents, Sigmier relied on the local USPS location and its PO Boxes for all of his mail. He says there were never any rural route USPS carriers to deliver or pick-up mail from homes in Poncha Springs.
