Woman of Grace: Lucile Salter Packard Exhibition Info & Upcoming Activities! - Another First Street ProjectPosted on: 2008-02-21The Post Office on First Street is also scheduled to be torn down and replaced with offices, two stories of condominiums and a 6,000 square foot retail space that was approved by City Council as the new location for the Post Office.
This new postal annex will have retail services and the post office boxes, but no large delivery trucks and small delivery jeeps. These trucks will operate out of the postal location on Miramonte Avenue in Loyola Corners.
In the meantime, the Post Office is looking for temporary space in downtown to host a retail location while the First Street Property is being built. The postal service is also considering a 15-year lease of the old Bank of the West building at 240 third Street and not relocationg back into the new building once it is completed.
The postal service held a first time community information meeting on Monday, January 28th and will host more meetings to gather community input about its new location in the weeks to come.

The property, bought by the city years ago for a parking garage, has been a topic of debate for the last ten years. At one point, the council was debating whether a theatre or a hotel would be the best use of the porperty. The council chose a hotel and a developer was brought in.
After a few more years of discussion, the developer decided that building a hotel on the site would not be a financially viable project, it was pulled an city staff decided to put the property on the market and to look at what type of projects potential developers propose.
Of course, it will take a few years to get a project off the ground and begin constructin, so stay tuned. LAVA
