MARTA has finally opened up the extra parking lot across Irene Kidd Parkway for use. The lot opens at 7am will close at 8pm. I doubt it will be open, or needed, on the weekends. But this is great news, as it gives us at least another 100 spaces to access. So if you been wanting to take MARTA but couldn't find a parking space, now's your chance. Plus the extra walking is good for you.
