Last I heard, the planned Decatur Housing Authority development on top of the Avondale MARTA parking lot was stuck because MARTA insisted a parking deck for riders but wouldn’t pay for it. Maybe now they’ll be more willing to chip in.

If the deck is built, that still doesn’t guarantee the development will be constructed, but its the first of many steps.

Given the economy, that project is on hold but, down the line, seems like an ideal area for transit-focused enhancements. Especially on someone else’s dime.
