(SALEM, Ore. ) - On Wednesday, April 16, in cooperation with the City of Salem, the Salem Post Office’s West Salem Station at 400 Glen Creek Rd N.W. will begin reconfiguring the layout and flow of its customer parking area.

The major change customers will observe is a reversal of the traffic flow through the parking area, which the City of Salem has advised will help reduce congestion in the area caused by overall changes in traffic patterns that have resulted from development in the surrounding community over the last several years.

The work will be done in two phases, according to Salem Postmaster Brad Bender. The first phase will affect the parking area closest to the building. This area will be converted to a drive-through mail drop-off lane, as well as an area for handicapped parking and additional customer parking. The second phase will involve repaving and striping the parking area which faces Glen Creek Rd.

These changes will take approximately 30 days to complete. The reversal of the entrance and exit will be implemented at approximately 50 percent of completion of the project, or in about two weeks.

City of Salem street signs on the public right of way and appropriate signs installed at the entrance and exit will be posted, giving clear direction to postal customers when the changes are put into effect.

“We want to thank our customers for their patience and support during this process, as we partner with the City of Salem to provide safer access to the West Salem Station Post Office,” Bender said.
