DUNWOODY, Ga. — MARTA announced the closure of parking decks at the Medical Center and Dunwoody stations during June to install new equipment for more convenient payment. The Medical Center Station parking deck closes from June 4-28, and the Dunwoody Station parking deck shutters from June 10 to July 3. MARTA encourages riders to use the parking decks at the Sandy Springs, North Springs, Doraville and Lindberg stations while renovations are underway. During the temporary closure, contractors will install new entry and exit gates, ticket dispensers, license-plate recognition cameras and other system upgrades. The larger project includes new equipment for long-term parking facilities at 10 heavy rail stations. The project is expected to conclude in April 2025. The Lenox and Lindberg stations are currently wrapping up installation and are available for parking. In the future, upgrades will be compatible with MARTA’s Automated Fare Collection 2.0 system, allowing customers to pay for parking with their fares through a single app.
