Atlanta is leaning hard into public transportation for the foreseeable future with the recent announcement of four new MARTA stations coming to Atlanta.
The news was shared by Atlanta Mayor Andre Dickens, who stressed that any new transit project address the city’s equity needs.
“Our city’s transportation landscape is dynamic, mirroring the diverse growth and evolution of Atlanta’s neighborhoods. Both legacy and emerging communities have immediate transportation needs that deserve effective solutions,” said Dickens.
Among the plans are to build new MARTA stations around the city, including a heavy rail system at Murphy Crossing.
Where Are the New MARTA Stations Being Built?
Here are the locations for the four MARTA stations:
Murphy Crossing
1050 Murphy Ave., Atlanta, Ga. 30310
Located at the intersection of Murphy Avenue and Sylvan Road, Murphy Crossing is a redevelopment site that was once slated for office/commercial but funding fell through. Owned by the Beltline, now its use as a transit hub becomes clear.
Krog Street/Hulsey Yard
Boulevard Dr., Atlanta, Ga. SE 30307
The city’s transit plans also include transforming the Krog Street and the Halsey depot, a CSX freight storage property, into a MARTA station.
Also, construction of a corridor for a Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) line to connect the redeveloped Bowen Homes community with Ponce City Market.
Joseph E. Boone
Among the infill MARTA station investments is a rail hub on Joseph E. Boone Boulevard.
The project will highlight civic collaboration between the City of Atlanta in partnership with the Atlanta BeltLine, and MARTA to deliver equitable transportation projects across Atlanta.
Armour Yards
Armour Circle, NE Atlanta, Ga. 30324
Officially the city’s MARTA rail yard, the Armour Circle project will MARTA’s expansion meet the city’s transportation goals as a major metropolitan city.
“It is imperative that our transportation investments are strategically and equitably deployed to increase ridership on MARTA’s heavy rail network and bus system fostering a more connected and unified Atlanta,” he said.
In addition to developing design and financing plans, the directive from Dickens calls for community engagement efforts to ensure the design of the infill stations are accessible and appropriate for their respective neighborhoods.
