Minnehaha and Lake Street post offices relocate, resume operations

The Postal Service said deliveries have resumed in Minneapolis and St. Paul.
US Postal Service mail delivery trucks sit idle at the Manassas Post Office in Virginia on September 5, 2011. The New York Times reported that the US Postal Service is on the brink of default unless Congress takes emergency action to shore up finances.

MINNEAPOLIS — The Postal Service has relocated the Minnehaha and Lake Street offices that were impacted by unrest in the wake of the death of George Floyd.

The Postal Service said full mail delivery has resumed in Minneapolis and St. Paul.

"Our thoughts and prayers go out those impacted by recent events," said Northland District Manager Anthony Williams. "We are committed to providing First Class service to our customers. I sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this has caused to the residents of these communities and I thank you for your patience as we work to bring permanent services back into these neighborhoods."

Some collection boxes around the Twin Cities are also temporarily out of service.

“As a precautionary measure, the Postal Service has also temporarily removed some collection boxes in St. Paul and Minneapolis. They will be back in service when it is deemed safe to do so, and when we are able to collect the mail within them without incident," the Postal Service said in its statement.
