ATLANTA — MARTA is resuming the transformation project at Five Points Station. It’s set to start on May 17.
That means Alabama Street, Broad Street Plaza, and Peachtree Street Station entrances will be impacted.
Street-level station, elevator, and bus access will move to Forsyth Street.
Rail service and transfers will not be impacted and will operate as scheduled.
The project will improve transit connectivity, bring increased safety, and offer enhanced customer amenities.
The first phase of the project includes the destruction and removal of the concrete canopy.
Future phases include building a new canopy, improving the centralized bus hub and pedestrian connection to Broad Street, and adding community spaces, public art, and agriculture.
The budget for the project is approximately $230 million, funded mainly through the More MARTA Atlanta half-penny sales tax, with $13.8 million of the funding coming from the State of Georgia, $25 million coming from the Federal RAISE Grant, and remaining support from the MARTA core penny.
