How about tearing down many of the single-use transit stations (especially the outlying ones surrounded by acres of surface parking lots) and redeveloping and reconstructing them as high-density mixed-use developments with offices, shops, restaurants, hotels, condos, apartments, grocery stores and the like, where applicable.

How about making the transit station become part of a high-density mixed-use development that is a destination for the surrounding community instead of being someplace only to catch a train or bus.

This event applies only to the three Midtown stations. They are seeking input for the renovations mentioned a few weeks / months ago.

I'd still like to see living walls paint murals on some stations. The #1 that comes to mind is east lake. I could see a mural at north have station too.
The best way to redesign these are to create welcoming plaza areas with cart vendors and enforce loitering laws.

YES!!!!! Now, I'm not a big fan of murals on the side of buildings, but I do agree that we need more public art around town, and, I think you guys are right: MARTA stations would be pretty good places for public art.

Please take those new stations underground, those outside station in winter are very cold outside.
