Trees Planted at Catonsville Post Office

Three new trees have been planted at the Post Office on Frederick Road in Catonsville after residents complained about the upkeep of the grounds to Rep. Elijah Cummings.

The trees were planted roughly two weeks ago and flowers also were planted.

Safiya Simmons, a spokeswoman in Cummings' office, said the congressman had received several complaints about the shape of the grounds.

Cummings' office wrote a letter to Postal Service District Manager Kevin McAdams. 

"Within two weeks of writing the letter, the Post Office’s grass was cut, and has been cut regularly since that time. The hedges were trimmed, and the grounds were enhanced with the planting of trees and flowers," Simmons wrote in an email.

The office staff also is working to address issues of wheelchair access and removing the newspaper bins that are outside, Simmons said.
