The Honorable Nancy Pelosi The Honorable Kevin McCarthy Speaker Minority Leader U.S. House of Representatives U.S. House of Representatives Washington, DC 20215 Washington, DC 20215 The Honorable Mitch McConnell The Honorable Chuck Schumer Majority Leader Minority Leader U.S. Senate U.S. Senate Washington, DC 20210 Washington, DC 20210 April 30, 2020 Dear Congressional Leaders: The undersigned companies, trade associations and consumer advocacy organizations believe it is imperative to save the United States Postal Service. We thank you all for your leadership as the nation confronts this pandemic, and urge you to provide enough funding to enable USPS to survive and serve its customers, the American people, during this exceptionally trying time. We, along with the postal-reliant industry that generates $1.6 trillion in sales and employs 7.3 million workers, have long supported a self-sufficient Postal Service. But no business entity can withstand a 50% or more externally-imposed drop in business and revenues, as USPS projects due to COVID-19, and long survive. That is why emergency funding must be provided now. The American people have been reminded during this pandemic of just how fundamental to American life the Postal Service still is. USPS is delivering prescriptions, household and business staples, groceries, Personal Protective Equipment, greeting cards and personal correspondence to bridge social distancing, Paycheck Protection Program, Social Security and tax refund checks, CDC advice cards on keeping oneself and family safe, and newspapers and magazines still vital to informing the American people. It is enabling a new wave of businesses along with the e-commerce sector to survive the pandemic through remote order and fulfillment. Postal Service delivery is essential. And it is of particularly acute need in rural areas of the country, where there are no alternatives, and often not even broadband. USPS is a lifeline there and elsewhere throughout the country during these challenging times. As to how much is needed, we defer to the experts, the bipartisan Postal Service Board of Governors appointed by the President, and our leaders in Congress. While substantial sums are needed, they amount to a small part of the emergency funds Congress has provided and will continue to provide, including to sustain small businesses, their employees and the economy. The Postal Service is the backbone of businesses large and small in America, and must endure. The American people, 91% of whom approve of USPS1, often raise a commotion if a single Post Office is to be closed. Closing the entire system or imposing a major reduction in service during this time of need would magnify that reaction substantially. 1 Pew Research Center, Survey of the Public’s Views on Federal Agencies (April 9, 2020). https://www.people- press.org/2020/04/09/public-holds-broadly-favorable-views-of-many-federal-agencies-including-cdc-and-hhs/ Business Letter on Saving the Postal Service, p.2 We again strongly urge you to save the Postal Service and preserve a fundamental lifeline to millions of Americans.

There are many reasons why I can think of to support this path. Primarily as it will affect me, it will create a clear, direct, and safe route connecting Belmont with Alewife Station, as well as the Minuteman Bike Path and a broader thriving bike network. The current path in this direction ends prematurely, and extending and connecting it would greatly increase the 'livability' of the community by providing safe active transportation options for more users! In addition, the path and railroad underpass creates safe routes to school for children. Thank you for your consideration and please support this project! All the best, --Max Boston Region MPO 2 Belmont (#609204): Community Path, Belmont Component of the MCRT (Phase 1) March 27, 2021 Good morning Matt, My name is Jessica Przysiecki and I am a new resident to Belmont, recently moving here from Somerville near Davis Square.
