MARTA's Connect 400 program has plans to extend its North Line up to Windward Parkway, adding three from North Springs Station in Sandy Springs through Roswell; and four transit stations in Alpharetta.

MARTA made its presentation a few weeks ago in Roswell at a public meeting.

2 more in Sandy Springs

  • Spalding Drive
  • Northridge Road

4 in Alpharetta

  • Mansell Road
  • North Point Mall
  • Haynes Bridge Road
  • Windward Parkway

1 in Roswell

  • Holcomb Bridge Road

Not all of the stations would necessarily be built and it would take 10-15 years to extend the North Line, project manager Jason Morgan told Appen Newspapers.
