Yay for the non-subscriber content, for a change!

FOUR TOWERS?!?! Awesome. Wonder how tall.

I assume the "platform" would be a massive, strong base structure, built over what's existing?

MARTA is on fire. Time to reserve some property in Cumberland for a station and future TOD project before all the vacant land is gone.

It's projects like this one that should make it even more enticing for Cobb and Gwinnett to look at MARTA heavy rail extensions. Scores of office jobs in the city for your county's residents, sitting right there directly on top of transit stations, and all you gotta do is extend the line out to your suburbs and build park&ride stations? No brainer, IMO. Give people a congestion-free and low-stress daily commute. Also it will take some vehicles off the highways, and give everyone else a little better ride, too.

But...but...but...what about all the thieves and robbers that will take MARTA to plunder and steal and then take all those stolen goods back on MARTA and head back to their section 8 apartments in southwest Atlanta???? Oh, and what about the children???? Who's thinking of the children????

Lots of young children in school uniforms riding MARTA alone every day going to that private school down in College Park.

Shouldn't Dunwoody station be on that list, or are you only counting MARTA owned developments?
