As the holidays draw closer and business gets a little busier, the Lake Orion Post Office is doing their best to make life easier for their patrons.
According to Postmaster Ted Banks, the Lake Orion office will be expanding their parking to include an additional eight to ten spots for customers.
‘The intent for the project is to improve the overall parking situation,? Banks said. ‘This will more than double the amount of parking spots we have.?
The expansion is planned to be completed by the end of October, and Banks said that it is their intention to plan the construction for times when it will have a minimal impact on customers.
According to Banks, historically the holiday season means an increase in post office activity, meaning that parking is at a premium.
‘I’m hoping, with this project, to remove any concerns the customers may have about visiting our location,? he said.
The Lake Orion Post Office is located at 611 N. Axford, and can be reached at (248)693-3253.
Currently they are open Monday through Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 7 p.m., and Saturdays, 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.
