MARTA began phase one of the Five Points Transformation on May 17, 2025, with bus routes detoured to Forsyth Street, in preparation for deconstruction of the concrete canopy.
Safely deconstructing the existing concrete canopy will require several changes to the way MARTA customers use the station. These changes are detailed below:

Rail Access Changes
- The Peachtree Street entrance and federal tunnel for employees will close beginning Monday, Oct. 13, 2025. Use Forsyth Street entrance for station access. Station entrances at Alabama Street and Broad Street Plaza remain closed.
- Elevators remain open on the concourse and platform levels.
- Rail service and rail transfers are unchanged. This project will not affect rail schedules, but single-tracking may be required for other MARTA projects.
- Some night closures of the entrances may be necessary during construction. These will be communicated well in advance.

Project Impact
The initial phase of the project focuses on demolishing and removing the existing concrete canopy. In later phases, a new canopy will be constructed, the centralized bus hub and pedestrian access along Broad Street will be improved, and new community spaces, public art, and urban agriculture will be introduced. Together, these upgrades will reimagine Five Points Station as a dynamic city hub with better transit connections, enhanced safety, and modernized amenities.
The transformation will directly benefit current MARTA riders while also encouraging nearby residents to consider transit as a convenient alternative to driving. By shifting more trips to public transportation, the demand for surface parking in the downtown area is reduced—opening the door for redevelopment into affordable housing, green spaces, and other community-focused features that enrich urban life.

Project Funding
The project will cost approximately $230 million and is funded through the More MARTA Atlanta half-penny sales tax, with $13.8 million from the state of Georgia, and a $25 million Federal RAISE Grant, with remaining support from the MARTA core penny.
