MARTA riders may have noticed in recent weeks the system’s Arts Center train station has become quite a bit more vibrant.

Last fall, the transit agency and Midtown Alliance kicked off construction on a placemaking initiative aimed at making the stop more visually engaging and pedestrian-friendly.

Now, MARTA officials tell Curbed Atlanta, the latest Arts Center station updates are almost done, and the place seems to be living up to its name.

All that’s left to do is paint a new seating installation outside the West Peachtree Street entrance, which is scheduled for whenever this winter’s rainy spells end, according to MARTA spokeswoman Stephany Fisher.

This isn’t the first primping the Arts Center stop has undergone; in 2018, officials created what’s called “The Porch,” an area with brightly colored seating, artistic window fixtures, and a piano, among other welcoming additions on the station’s east side.

It’s also not the only station makeover on the docket for MARTA.

This spring, possibly in April, crews are expected to launch an overhaul of the concourse level and boarding platform at MARTA’s Airport station, Fisher said.

“All floors, walls, and ceiling finishes will be replaced, along with a newly designed rideshare store, complete refurbishment of vestibules, employee restroom, and break rooms,” she said.

Plus, another elevator is slated to be installed. The existing one would be renovated.

The canopy at the system’s southernmost station is also set to receive a “more contemporary design that allows natural light to filter through with complementing LED lights,” Fisher added.

MARTA’s public art program, Artbound, is now shopping around for artists to bring a new mural to the station.

On the distant horizon, plans for upgrades at the Five Points stop await, too.

MARTA officials are currently assessing whether it’s feasible to remove the canopy over the central station and replace it with head houses, or open-air, covered entry points.

“As part of the deconstruction, we are also exploring the ability to drop columns for future transit-oriented development over the station area,” Fisher said.

If all goes to plan, those changes would take place in advance of the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

MARTA is expected to have a clearer idea of how it will proceed by the end of this year.
