The U. S. Postal Service will make a formal announcement Friday that the Broadway-Fillmore post office will be taken off the list closing offices.<\/p>\n

From the Buffalo News<\/a>:<\/p>\n

Buffalo Common Council President David A. Franczyk called the decision to spare the Broadway-Fillmore Station from closure \u201cdelightful\u201d news. He had led a lobbying effort to keep it open and had discussions with Rep. Louise M. Slaughter, DFairport, and district postal officials.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut we have to stay vigilant in future years,\u201d Franczyk said. \u201cOne battle at a time.\u201d<\/p>\n

Earlier Tuesday, the Council\u2019s Community Development Committee heard from numerous speakers who expressed opposition to the closing of the Broadway-Fillmore Station. They cited statistics indicating that nearly 80 percent of the residents living in the impoverished neighborhood do not own vehicles.<\/p>\n

The small retail operation on Broadway has one full-time staff member and does not have letter carriers working out of its facility.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
