State Tollway Authority Helping To Relocate Amtrak Station To Atlantic Station

The state’s tollway authority is negotiating the planned reolocation of Amtrak’s train station from Buckhead to Atlantic Station.In 2002, SRTA spent $10.4 million in tollway collections to buy 6.8 acres on the west side of Atlantic Station. At the time, the land was intended to be a landing pad for a proposed transit line from Cobb County.


The proposed site is adjacent to the IKEA building and the Norfolk Southern railroad tracks.Travelers could reach the proposed station by private vehicle, MARTA or the Atlantic Station shuttle. Any of the methods would be a measurable improvement over the access to the existing Amtrak station, located at the corner of Peachtree and Deering roads.

Private vehicles would exit into Atlantic Station from the Downtown Connector or from Northside Drive. MARTA has multiple routes in the area. The Atlantic Station shuttle connects with MARTA’s Arts Center Station

That would be amazing. Atlanta wasn't the only city to destroy a beautiful train station. Check out this site and see 11 other train stations that were demolished and what they were replaced with. Two of them were in Atlanta and another in Savannah. http://www.infrastructurist.com/2009...wrecking-ball/

I noticed that the original (I guess) plan for Atlantic station included what looks like an enclosed mall and a mini office park to the west. What was built isn't perfect but a huge improvement over this plan.

You can thank the City of Atlanta then Commissioner of Planning Mike Dobbins for that. The City only agreed to support the 17th Street bridge if the plan was developed into something better than a glorified suburban "planned unit development."

Despite the architectural design of most individual buildings being poor at Atlantic Station, the plan is much, much stronger than the original vision for the site.

"Sportsplex" planned next to Atlantic Station

Quote:
Odyssey Sports Atlanta would develop the “sportsplex” on land between 450 and 464 Bishop Street. The industrial site is next to the 138-acre Atlantic Station mixed-use development at the Connector and 17th Street.


The new recreational facility would include an Olympic-sized pool; 10 basketball courts; 11 tennis courts; two lacrosse and soccer fields; and a hockey rink.

The project, called Odyssey Sportsplex, will be geared to training elite athletes, said Harold Buckley, an attorney representing the development group.
“These will be blue-chippers that are looking to play professionally,” Buckley said.
