Columbus City Attorney Zach Klein announced the agreement Friday, stating that it will prohibit the pickup and drop-off of passengers at the Wilson Road facility.

COLUMBUS, Ohio — The operators of a bus terminal in west Columbus agreed to reduce its operations after the city filed a lawsuit last year over safety concerns.

“Signing a court order to drastically reduce operations, address congestion and overcrowding issues, and maintain strict safety and security measures at the Wilson Road Terminal is a win for neighbors and the City,” said Klein. “From the start, I’ve said that our priorities are to make this site safe and secure for passengers and surrounding neighbors and to work toward a long term solution that moves operations to a permanent, more appropriate site.

According to the terms of the agreement, Barons Bus must submit an updated site plan for the city to review within the next 30 days. Also, within 120 days of the order, Barons and Greyhound Lines must transition the property to be used only for ticket sales and passenger transfers.
