Bus shelter near Conley Road shopping center removed

COLUMBIA, Mo. (KMIZ)

A bus shelter and trash container in Columbia has been removed after a request was made by Broadway Crossings, according to an email from a city public works spokesman.

The letter says the bus stop was located at 21 Conley Road, though the city spokesman clarified it was on Trimble Road.

The request to remove it was sent on Sept. 19 and it was removed the following week.

“The offending shelter and trash container have become significant nuisances, negatively impacting the use and safety of our Tenants and patrons. The presence of the bus stop has led to several issues, including excessive trash, excessive noise, harassment and even violence,” a letter from the Kroenke Group to Columbia Public Works says.

The bus shelter was located on private property, the letter says.
