Garnett Station Rehabilitation
Rider Alert
Beginning Monday, December 8, 2025, MARTA will temporarily close elevator access to the upper concourse at Garnett Station for approximately two weeks to complete tile installation and related rehabilitation work.
The elevator, located at the Brotherton Street entrance, will continue to serve the lower concourse and platform levels of the station.
What customers can expect:
- A Mobility shuttle will run continuously between the Trinity Street and Brotherton Street entrances for customers needing ADA accommodation.
- The station plaza, lower concourse, and upper concourse will remain open, with rail service accessible via stairs and escalator.
- Rail and bus service will not be impacted.

Project Overview
MARTA is renovating Garnett Station as part of its State-of-Good-Repair Program. Garnett Station opened in 1981, and, after more than 40 years of wear and tear, existing pavers were in immediate need of repair to ensure a safe, accessible, and positive experience for customers. New pavers are also easier to clean, replace, and maintain long-term.
The total budget for Garnett Station Rehabilitation is $9.9 million. The six-week Skip Stop that was completed on October 26, 2025 saved about 14 months of construction time and $5 million.

Key Project Features:
- Demolition and replacement of existing platform pavers including cracked and missing pavers
- Staircase repair
- Replacement of worn windscreens to improve the appearance and natural lighting on the platform
- Heavy cleaning, pressure-washing, sealing and graffiti-resistant coating applied to concrete areas
Future project work includes replacing the pavers on the concourse and plaza levels and new windscreens. Stay tuned for more updates.
