The work by National Grid is expected to go through July.

Starting today, National Grid will resume its gas infrastructure improvements on Massachusetts Avenue in Arlington Heights, according to the town.

POLL: Will Postal Service Cutbacks Affect You?

Starting next spring, the U.S. Postal Service will end next-day delivery of letters, postcards and other First Class mail. Will that decision change your daily life?

Come next spring, the U.S. Postal Service will end next-day delivery of letters, postcards and other First Class mail, the Huffington Post reported. In Arlington, there is still the potential for the closure of two of three post offices, which are on a list of 3,700 branches nationwide considered for closure, including 43 locations in the Boston area. The list includes the East Arlington and Arlington Heights branches and not the main branch in Arlington Center. We're wondering what Arlington residents are thinking about the U.S. Postal Service cuts. Let us know your thoughts but voting in the poll. Please feel free to leave a comment in the box below.

Postal Service Pushes Back Closure of Arlington Branches

Review process to decide the fate of two of three post offices in town will restart from scratch.

U.S. Postal Service officials are delaying the potential closure of two of the three Arlington branches after a piece of mail didn’t go out to town residents in a timely fashion. Michael Foley, discontinuance coordinator for Boston area post offices, on Monday said a piece of mail didn’t go out in time to notify town residents about the potential closure of the U.S. Postal Service’s East Arlington and Arlington Heights branches. The two Arlington locations are on a list of 3,700 branches nationwide considered for closure, including 43 locations in the Boston area. The list does not include the Postal Service's main branch in Arlington Center. Foley said the piece of mail also contained information about a public hearing, a comment sheet …

I wrote a letter to the "District Discontinuance Coordinator" explaining my view that the Arlington Heights office was a great "service" to the community--and always busy. I suggested that eliminating services was not a good way to keep the Postal "Service" viable. I concluded that there are lots of ways to reduce USPS losses, but curtailing access service to citizens seems contrary to the …   more ›
