MARTA promotes walking

MARTA  and its transit partners broke ground this week on a pedestrian bridge to connect Buckhead sectors by crossing over Georgia 400. The bridge, scheduled for completion in November 2013, will tie  Stratford Road to Tower Place Drive and has the practical benefit of making Phipps Plaza easily accessible from the MARTA  Buckhead rail station  and connecting business and residential districts.

The project is a result of an agreement by MARTA, the Buckhead Community Improvement District, Georgia Department of Transportation, State Road and Toll Authority, Federal Transit Administration and the City of Atlanta.
