Modernization: The Project will improve and modernize the station by opening the plaza slab beneath a new, larger canopy designed to avoid pooling of water, and to maximize access to daylight and air at the plaza and concourse levels, which improves transit rider safety. The Project includes a complete repaving and waterproofing replacement to the plaza level and repaving of the concourse level. Both of these efforts will work with the stormwater management trenches to prevent water penetration onto the tracks and platforms below.

Placemaking: The new design will emphasize visual and physical connections to create a safe, efficient, and spatially captivating station experience which will provide improved wayfinding signage, real-time arrival information, and includes new amenities such as Wi-Fi, blue light/emergency phone, etc.  The concourse level will feature new station vendor areas and public art, while the plaza level will provide spaces for community activities, greenspace, and additional displays of public art. Strengthening the east-west flow of the newly exposed concourse level between the Forsyth and Peachtree entrances provides direct sightlines to fare control, while adjacent walls can be transformed to retail frontages and murals to add activity and color to the station concourse.
