Design

Murphy Crossing Infill MARTA Station

As a follow-up project to the Beltline Transit Study, Atlanta Beltline is taking on the high-level planning needed to bring location, form, access, and capital cost to the concept of an infill station at Murphy Crossing. 

This project will develop alternatives, determine feasibility, and develop planning-level design for a proposed infill MARTA station that is proportionate with the general level of design as other outputs from the Beltline Transit Study.

On October 29, 2026, we hosted a Southwest Study Group meeting to kick off work and present potential station concepts. Review what was discussed below.

Project Status

Kimley-Horn has begun work developing high-level engineering alternatives to depict different potential MARTA rail platform locations and general structural systems.

The intention is to develop several potential alternatives that allow the technical team to filter out those with substantial flaws and then compare the remaining alternatives via qualitative analysis that considers:

  • MARTA rail operations

  • Freight railroad operations

  • State highway (Lee Street) operations

  • City street (Murphy Avenue) operations

  • Beltline Southwest Trail operations

  • Community Impacts

  • Constructability

Determining potential locations is only the first step. Station programming and community access will then be developed to serve potential platform locations. Planning-level design will take into account follow-up quantitative comparisons and community feedback to ultimately help arrive at a preferred alternative.
