ATL Standard

ATLANTA—Mayor Andre Dickens issued a statement regarding the proposed redevelopment plan for the MARTA Five Points Station.

“I echo the frustrations expressed by Atlantans today over the proposed Five Points redevelopment plan. In addition to the serious concerns about accessibility and the potential closure of the station for four years, preliminary findings show MARTA may owe the citizens of Atlanta $70 million—or more. I stand by my call to pause construction activity until we can reassess and determine a better path forward.”
