MARTA's Five Points Station is set for a significant transformation to enhance transit connectivity, safety, and amenities. Starting in May 2025, we will begin deconstructing the concrete canopy as the first phase of this project. The transformation includes:
A new, light-filled canopy
A more centralized bus hub
Reconnecting Broad Street for pedestrians
Additional improvements featuring community spaces, public art, and urban agriculture
The following principles were established to guide the design process:
Provide seamless transit connectivity and connect flows of people
Allow daylight and fresh air to the station below
Negotiate grade change and improve sightlines
Create a vibrant beacon for the district
Support a diverse collection of programs
Creating a welcoming and safe destination that incorporates elements like landscaping, lighting, wayfinding
Honoring the legacy of the Five Points Station by incorporating public art throughout and creating designs that reflect the culture of the neighborhood
Improving mobility and access for buses, cars, pedestrians, and bicyclists to bring different modes together in a safe and efficient way
Reimagining how we use the station's open space to transform the station into a destination where people come to gather together
Incorporating sustainable design and construction practices and creating green spaces in an urban environment that captures the spirit of Atlanta’s moniker as a “City in a Forest”
