**STATEMENT BY MARY PAT CLARKE**

The Waverly Post Office in the 14th Council District is one of 8 Baltimore City post offices under review by the United States Postal Service (USPS) for closure in its current nationwide proposal to close 3,200 post offices nationwide and 41 in Maryland. Post offices under review have not yet been officially proposed for closure, and we seek to stop that possibility in its tracks.

If Waverly and the City’s other 7 possible closures are any example, this entire review process should be “Returned to Sender” for the adequate postage of transparent fiscal planning, geographic balance and criteria for change which reflect the special reliance on traditional post office services by our City’s and our nation’s minority, low-income, non-vehicle owning and urban populations - which are disproportionately affected in the Baltimore City proposal.

Waverly Post Office serves a population of 52,530, the 2nd highest post office service area in the City (after Arlington) and more than 5 times the national average population of 10,000 people served by local post offices. In general, the average post office slated for closure in Baltimore City serves 3.5 times that national average per post office. These post offices are:
