A U.S. Postal Service official says that the Altadena post office will not close — although it may move — and there are no plans to close the Mack Robinson post office/mail handling facility in Pasadena. However, both facilities will shrink as the postal service moves some functions to other locations in an effort to reduce costs.
In the case of Altadena, consolidation means moving mail carriers’ stations and vehicles to another facility, said Michael E. Madrigal, marketing manager for the U.S. Postal Service’s Sierra Coastal District. In the case of the Mack Robinson post office and mail handling facility in Pasadena, it means moving the mail handling function 17 miles away, to a facility in Los Angeles.
Both post offices will retain retail counters and service and post office boxes, Madrigal said.
