Development

There is planned development to remove all parking at the station. Instead of using the abandoned shopping center directly across the street, such as was proposed, MARTA is to give up its parking at Brookhaven. The dream is to create a “city center” on the property composed of mixed use, office, retail, civic and public space.[1][2]
