MARTA police station at Lindbergh Center

Lindbergh Center station is in the southern section of Buckhead. This is the second busiest station in the MARTA system, handling an average of 23,400 boardings per weekday. It is important to the MARTA system for a number of reasons. It is adjacent to their headquarters building, located just north of the Armour Yard Rail Services Facility (opened in 2005), which allows trains to come into service at a more central location than was previously possible, and at an important junction point for the future Belt Line. On the first floor of the headquarters building is the MARTA Ridestore.

[edit] Nearby development

In the early 2000s, as part of the Lindbergh City Center project,^[2] two large office buildings, retail, restaurants and parking decks were constructed on MARTA owned land above the station and in 2005 ground was broken across Piedmont for a large new urbanist development. Originally, the station consisted of a single island platform when opened in 1984. In 2002, during the development of the surrounding area, a side platform was constructed on the northbound side of the station to accommodate the increased ridership and transfers between the North-South and Northeast-South rail lines.

[edit] Parking

Lindbergh Center has three parking decks for MARTA patrons. City center has 1,578 parking spaces, Garson has 785 parking spaces, and Sidney Marcus has 544 parking spaces. Daily parking (less than 24 hours) is free in all decks; long term parking is charged at US$7 per day, including the first day and is only permitted in the Sidney Marcus parking deck.
