Provisions

The MARTA system has a number of provisions for future and never-built extensions to the system

Name	Location	Description
Hapeville Branch	South of East Point Station. Just past Irene Kidd Pkwy.	Just north of the tunnel portals there is some grading to the sides of the tracks for a branch that would've extended east along Central Ave to downtown Hapeville.
East Line Extension	East of Indian Creek Station.	Empty concrete trackbeds just east of the platforms at Indian Creek suggest a crossover was intended there, likely for a further eastward extension of the line.
Northwest Line	Just north of Arts Center.	There are a pair of branching tunnel stubs that can be seen just north of Arts Center Station. These were intended for a short spur to 26th Street, and possibly a longer extension into Cobb County.
Proctor Creek Line	Just north of Bankhead Station.	The area around the pocket track north of Bankhead is graded for two tracks, intended for the cancelled segment of the line to Perry Homes.
Tucker-North DeKalb Line	West of East Lake station. Near DeKalb Ave and Ridgecrest Rd.	There is a descending trackbed between the two active tracks that descends into a very short tunnel stub. This was intended for a branch that would have extended northeast through North Decatur past Emory University, and up towards Tucker.
Summerhill Branch	Under Garnett Station.	There is a pocket track under Garnett station used for inserting trains into service at Five Points. This was possibly intended for a proposed short spur south to what was then Atlanta-Fulton County Stadium.
