MARTA approved a new $1.16 billion line connecting Lindbergh Station and its Avondale station with several North Druid Hills-area stops in between. If built, we want to know, would you be a frequent user?

MARTA between its existing Lindbergh Station and Avondale train stops. Also known as its Clifton Corridor plan. The new rail would whiz through the Emory area on its way with several stops in the North Decatur/North Druid Hills area, including Emory-Clairmont, North Decatur, Suburban Plaza and .

It's a big, juicy, ambitious whopper of a transportation plan, and while MARTA's sign off is significant, this project has quite a few more approvals and hoops to step through before you're standing on a train platform. (Including a regional one-cent sales tax vote July 31 that would cover $700 million of the project's cost.) MARTA officials said yesterday the project may need an additional eight years of testing and planning before construction could begin, assuming everything goes as planned.
