MARTA is hosting a series of open houses on the MARTA I20 East Transit Initiative, which would include bringing MARTA rail out to the Mall at Stonecrest.

MARTA's study identified a Locally Preferred Alternative (LPA) for transit improvements in the I20 East Corridor. The LPA includes an extension of the existing MARTA rail line from the Indian Creek Station to the Mall at Stonecrest, and new Bus Rapid Transit service along I20 between downtown Atlanta and Wesley Chapel Road. 

MARTA is now conducting environmental studies to evaluate the impacts and benefits of these transit solutions. The public is invited to attend the upcoming open houses to learn more about the proposed projects and the preliminary findings from the ongoing environmental studies.

The next open house is Thursday, June 27, 6 p.m. - 7 p.m. with a presentation 7 p.m. - 8 p.m. at the Lou Walker Senior Center at 2538 Panola Road, Lithonia.
