I was watching the local news at Noon today (since Comcast is trying to fix my friggin HBO and OnDemand) when I saw a blurb about a proposal being pushed by the Regional Transportation Planners. They're pushing to build a station just south of the Georgia Dome on top of the existing NS tracks. The new station would connect the existing MARTA station at CNN Center/Philips Arena, Greyhound, Amtrak, and the proposed high speed rail. There is an open plot of land that the station could be built on. This location is right in the heart of downtown with close proximity to CNN Center, Centennial Park, the Georgia World Congress Center, and many of the downtown hotels, restaurants, and businesses. No price tag was given, but I'll be interested to see if this gets any traction (no pun intended).
