Midtown Alliance Presents MARTA Station Improvement Ideas
Midtown Alliance plans to give the three MARTA stations in the area -- Arts Center, Midtown, and North Ave. -- a good deal of attention with some updates.
"How do you make Midtown MARTA stations a neighborhood destination - a beautiful place to people watch or have lunch or catch a yoga class? We asked that question to architects and urban planners and got some intriguing answers," Midtown Alliance posted on its Facebook page this week.
More details are on a Midtown Alliance blog entry:
"Earlier this year, we received an $80,000 grant from the Atlanta Regional Commission to fund a planning effort to enhance the functional, operational and aesthetic aspects on the exterior of each station. The goal is to improve the experience in and around the stations, thereby increasing the appeal of transit to a broad range of users—young, old, residents, commuters, visitors, natives, newcomers and more."
