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 platform pavers are in immediate need of repair to ensure a safe, accessible, and positive experience for customers. New platform pavers are also easier to clean, replace, and maintain long-term.
The total budget for Garnett Station Rehabilitation is $9.9
million. The 6-week skip stop will save about 14 months of construction time
and $5 million.
Key Project Features:
- Demolition of existing flooring including cracked and missing pavers
- Installation of new tile flooring on the platform
- 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
