The Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority (MARTA) is taking a victory lap while underway with a wave of construction projects, developed through its Transit Oriented Development program.
Michael Kahn has noticed a trend in downtown Atlanta development: "former surface parking lots that neighbor transit hubs are springing to life."
"Last year, MARTA began construction on an array of new mixed-use developments at stations across their network. Now, several of these transit oriented developments (that’s TODs, for short) are barreling toward completion," reports Kahn.
The article tours the transit station areas with ongoing development projects, featuring the renderings and construction photos that planners love: Chamblee Station, Avondale Station, Edgewood/Candler Park Station, Arts Center Station, King Memorial Station, and Lindbergh Center Station. More details are available in an email announcement from MARTA's Transit Oriented Development program.
