INDIAN CREEK
STATION TRANSIT-ORIENTED DEVELOPMENT
ATLANTA - The Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority
(MARTA) and DeKalb County invite the public to help design the master plan for
Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) at Indian Creek Station at the Station Area
Design Charrette on Wednesday, July 19 from 5:30 p.m. until 8:00 p.m. at
Electric Owl Studios, located at 3963 Redan Road, across from the Indian Creek
Station. Parking is available onsite and a MARTA shuttle bus from the Indian
Creek Station will be available. Food and beverages will be provided.
The Indian Creek Station TOD Master Plan will equip MARTA with a
community-driven and actionable plan that lays the foundation for securing
TOD-supportive entitlements, leverages and complements station rehabilitation
and enhancements, and promotes increased ridership by expanding reasons to
engage with the area around the rail station and the entire MARTA system.
“Development at and around MARTA rail stations connects people
to opportunity, drives sustainable community development, and promotes regional
prosperity, as well as increases ridership and improves the entire customer
experience,” said MARTA General Manager and CEO Collie Greenwood.
