City of Columbus officials are now doing what they should have done in early 2023 to prevent their repeated blunders and resulting harms concerning the Greyhound/Barons bus depot on North Wilson Road.
A March 1, 2024 email from city attorney Section Chief Steve Dunbar states: “Next week’s Greyhound hearing is being continued. City, Barons and Greyhound are doing a search for alternative sites. I’ll let you know as soon as we get a new date. It will be about sixty days out.”
If a new trial date is not set for another two months, it will be nearly a year that this bus terminal disaster began to play out.
Barons officials had reached out to city officials requesting assistance in early 2023 to find a new location for their bus terminal after they could not come to terms with COTA on renewing their lease at the West Spring Street COTA location. The city refused to help Barons find a suitable location.
