MARTA CEO Keith Parker is a rock star. When he moved into the auditorium at the third annual MARTA Development Day, the crowd followed him.

Chris Leinberger of LOCUS capped off the morning with a fascinating study about Atlanta’s move to sustainable, walkable communities.
MARTA is still seeking proposals for future station redevelopment projects. Find more here.
