A new plan to clean up the violence at the transit center is forcing some businesses to clear out of the area.
Between September and October, every business in the center will be shut down.
The announcement was made on Wednesday during a meeting with CATS Interim CEO Brent Cagle.
“Those leases will terminate roughly over the next 90 days,” said Cagle.
Cagle said the concessionaires are being asked to leave for safety reasons.
The goal is to turn the transit center into a fare zone. So, if residents who don’t have the fare won’t have a reason to be in the area.
“Once it’s there, our safety and security personnel have the ability to ask for proof of fare. If you are not a ticketed passenger, you should not be just sitting at the facility, utilizing the facility for other purposes,” said Cagle.
Daily passenger Gretchen Audin told Channel 9 she was not comfortable with everything she had seen.
