Silver Spring, MD homeowners want U.S. Postal Service away from their street

SILVER SPRING, Md. (WJLA) — A Maryland neighborhood says Uncle Sam needs to get off their street.

Residents want the U.S. Postal Service to stop using Rogart Road as a launching pad to deliver mail in Silver Spring.

Rogart Road in Silver Spring is located in a neighborhood where people walk their dogs and kids wait with their parents to get on the school bus.

Homeowners, though, said they are not happy with one neighbor on the street: Woodmoor Post Office.

Dozens of U.S. Postal Service delivery trucks drive on Rogart Road, which is lined with homes on a daily basis.

“Most of the employees you talk to here say I’ve never been to such a crazy situation in my life,” Proctor said.

All use the back gate of the Woodmoor Post Office off Rogart.

“We have had several close calls,” said Heather Lee, who walks her child to the end of the street each morning to catch the school bus. “Both my son and daughter have almost been hit as well. We are very concerned.” Read more at WJLA
