Phoenix Post Office Renamed: Honoring Officer Zane T. Coolidge on 19th Avenue

This legislation is about as straightforward as it gets. It officially renames the United States Postal Service facility located at 12208 North 19th Avenue in Phoenix, Arizona, to the “Officer Zane T. Coolidge Post Office.” That’s the whole deal. The bill, Section 1, mandates that from the moment this takes effect, every official map, document, regulation, and record related to this specific location must be updated to reflect the new name.

The Real-World Impact: Mail as Usual

For the vast majority of people—whether you’re a local business owner shipping packages or a resident picking up mail—this bill changes absolutely nothing about your daily routine. Your mail will still get delivered, the hours of operation won't change, and the cost of stamps remains exactly the same. This is purely an administrative change designed to honor Officer Zane T. Coolidge by attaching his name to a federal facility. Think of it like updating the GPS coordinates for a specific building; the building itself doesn't move, but its official label does.

Who Benefits From a Name Change?

Because this bill is solely focused on recognition, the primary beneficiaries are the family and associates of Officer Coolidge, who receive a permanent public memorial in the community. For the Postal Service, it’s a minor administrative task: updating the sign on the building and making sure the change is logged in the system. While there is a small cost associated with updating signage and official records, the impact on taxpayer dollars is negligible. This is a bill about tribute, not about policy reform or economic stimulus. It’s a clear, simple action that memorializes an individual without altering the actual function or service of the post office itself.
