In spite of persistent rumors, the Topanga Post office is staying open and is fully staffed.
After a rough few months with only one counter employee at the Topanga Post Office due to retirements and extended leave, we are pleased to report that the office is now fully staffed.
Postmaster Jose Sanchez was also assigned to Topanga, which should clear up some persistent headaches.
“The post office is not and has not closed,” wrote a District 5 spokeswoman for the USPS.
Local residents brought the situation of the understaffed office to the attention of the District 5 Manager, who oversees Topanga. As a result, she worked to remedy the situation, so there should be plenty of counter staff, just in time for the holidays.
“The problems at the post office are now remedied,” wrote Tauni Brustin, who originally raised the alarm about the understaffing. “They have hired new people and things seem to be running a lot better. Thank you.”
