U.S. Rep. Grace Meng (D-Flushing) is trying to get Glendale its own ZIP code.
The neighborhood currently shares its 11385 code with Ridgewoord, something Meng hopes to change through legislation she introduced last week.
“Community identity is very unique in Queens,” Meng said. “Most areas in the borough are recognized by their neighborhood names, which provide a sense of identity and pride for local residents. That is true for Glendale, and it’s time for the Postal Service to accept and recognize that by creating a ZIP Code that the community can finally call its own.”
The piece of legislation has been referred to the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, which has jurisdiction over the Postal Service.
