I'm also in favor of this. However, USPS needs an alternate location to serve the neighborhood, and in order to maximize resale value, they were talking about selling it to a developer who would only preserve a fraction of the site for green space.

I think eventually USPS will shift distribution functions to some PMD site along the river that's off-limits to developers, and then open one or two retail counters in small River North buildings. Maybe as part of the deal, USPS gets a 99-year lease on the retail space at the Fort Dearborn site or something.
