Group wins post office court battle
The post office in Pittsford, built in 1956, will remain where it is for now after a recent court decision.
After seven years of battling a plan to move the post office out of the center of town, the Friends of Pittsford Village has won its Supreme Court appeal of an Environmental Court decision.
The opponents contended that the post office, the public library, the town’s largest supermarket, a tavern and a laundromat formed a cluster that encouraged pedestrian travel, and gave the town a sense of community. The town offices had been in that neighborhood, but were moved to a new building along Plains Road.
