Back in November, the Postal Service announced that it was opening a new Sorting & Delivery Center in Pompano Beach, Florida. As discussed in this post, the facility centralized carrier operations — about 250 routes — from five “spoke” post offices: Pompano Beach Main, Margate Branch, Coral Springs Branch, Coconut Creek Branch, and the Tropical Reef Station.
This week the Postal Service announced that it plans to relocate the Tropical Reef Station at 1950 NE 6th Street.
Normally USPS announcements about proposed relocations include an explanation for the need to relocate. Usually it’s a breakdown in the lease renewal negotiations, or perhaps damage to the building after a flood or fire. The Tropical Reef notification does not include any explanation for the relocation.
That’s probably because the Postal Service doesn’t want to acknowledge that the move is taking place because the post office is too big now that it has relocated the carriers to the Pompano Beach S&DC.
