MARTA and Clayton County will hold a ribbon-cutting ceremony Saturday for a new bus transit hub at the Clayton County Justice Center.
The hub is the first phase of transit improvements at the justice center, which will serve four bus routes and 800 daily MARTA riders. The new hub moves bus stop operations from Post Way to within the Justice Center’s northwest parking lot.
The ribbon cutting is set for 10 a.m.-2 p.m. at the Justice Center, 9151 Tara Bpulevard in Jonesboro. It will include a community paint day in which residents will use stencils to paint concrete barriers between the buses and bus shelters. The work is part of MARTA’s public art program Artbound and includes input from local artist George F. Baker III.
In an effort to address coronavirus concerns, paint will be provided in disposable cups and paintbrush handles wiped down after each use.
MARTA said phase 2 of the work, which will include permanent shelters and barriers and digital signage showing bus arrival times, will be completed in the next couple of years.
