RESOLUTION NO. 7068
WHEREAS, the Normandy Branch of the United States Post
Office at Miami Beach, Florida, was this week removed from
7132 Abbott Avenue to 730 - 71st Street; and
WHEREAS, the said removal was apparently effected with
dispatch and without consultation with municipal officials in
the City of Miami Beach and without due and adequate considera-
tion; and
WHEREAS, the site of the new post office location is on
a through and heavily traveled thoroughfare; and
WHEREAS, parking facilities within the immediate vicinity
of the said new location are at a minimum; and
WHEREAS, the continued maintenance and operation of the
post office at the said new location, by virtue of and on
account of the aforementioned factors, represents a constant
traffic hazard and a threat to the health and welfare of the
people of the City of Miami Beach and must eventually result
in serious traffic accidents; and
WHEREAS, the City of Miami Beach has been put to the ex-
pense of keeping a uniformed policeman on duty at the new post
office location; and
WHEREAS, it is not practical to provide adequate pre-
cautions to overcome the existing hazards and the factors
enumerated herein,
NOW, THEREFORE, RE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the
City of Miami Beach, Florida, that the proper authorities be
requested to take immediate steps to move the said post office
to a more practical location.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that copies of this resolution be
forwarded to each of our United States Senators, to the United
States Congressman for this District, to the Postmaster General
of the United States, and to the Postmaster for the United
States Post Office in Miami, Florida.
PASSED and ADOPTED this 7th day of December, A. D. 1949.
