MARTA proposed modifications for Routes 49, 50, 79, 95, 172 (to be replaced by the New 872), New 177, 178, 192, 850, 853, for April 2019 Service Modifications. Route 49: McDonough Boulevard: It is proposed that Route 49 be realigned to operate along Ted Turner Drive to Mitchell Street (inbound) and Martin Luther King Jr. Drive (outbound). Service along Trinity Avenue and Forsyth Street will continue to be provided by Route 813. Route 50: Donald Lee Hollowell Parkway: It is proposed that all Route 50 trips serve the UPS Distribution Center on Fulton Industrial Boulevard. Service to Atlanta Industrial Park is proposed to be served by modifications to Route 850. Route 79: Sylvan Hills It is proposed that Route 79 be realigned to provide service to the Martel Homes community. At Springdale Road & Cleveland Avenue, the proposed Route 79 will turn right (west) on Cleveland Avenue, left on Norman Berry Drive and left on Marie Head Terrace, assuming the Martel Homes loop from Route 192. From here, Route 79 is proposed to continue along the current Route 192 alignment to East Point Station via Calhoun Avenue, Bayard Street, Holcomb Avenue, Randall Street, Washington Avenue, R.N. Martin Street, Irene Kidd Parkway and Main Street. Current Route 79 passengers along Sylvan Road (north of Langston Avenue) and Murphy Avenue are proposed to be served by new Route 872. Stops along East Cleveland Avenue, Jefferson Terrace, Jefferson Avenue and R.N. Martin Street (north of Irene Kidd Parkway) are proposed for discontinuation due to underutilization. Instead, these areas will be accessible to transit services along Cleveland Avenue (Route 78) and Sylvan Road (Route 872).
