Travel Remedies: In light of the Connector construction, southbound delays are likely. When traveling to Downtown this weekend we encourage you to allow plenty of travel time and consider your transportation route and options. Whether by bus, MARTA rail, carpooling or biking or walking, there are many ways to get around Downtown. Here are a few resources to help:
