The public outcry continues over the U.S. Postal Service’s plan to shut down 17 Bronx post office locations this year, with a rally planned for this evening at 6 p.m. outside the Bronx General Post Office, at 558 Grand Concourse.

The protest is being held before a schedule public hearing to debate the closure of one of the proposed sites, the Stadium post office on Gerard Avenue, which serves the busy and commercial-heavy neighborhood around Yankee Stadium.

Earlier this week, the USPS announced its plan to eliminate first-class, or next-day mail services. This, along with the proposed branch closures, is an attempt to help the struggling agency cut its operating costs by a whopping $20 million over the next three years.

Citywide, there are 33 post office locations that could potentially close under the plan, 17 of which are in the Bronx. The Oak Point, Crotona and Van Nest locations have already been shut down this year. You can find a full list of sites that are on the chopping block here.
