Location

West Lake station is a metro station in Atlanta, Georgia, served by the Blue Line of the Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority (MARTA) rail system. The station is located between West Lake Avenue and Anderson Avenue in West Atlanta near the Westview Cemetery.

The station, designed by A.N. Sengupta, has two below-grade side platforms serving the line's two tracks. A steel space frame roof covers the surface-level concourse.[1] The walls of the platform area are covered in 320,000 3-inch (76 mm) colorful porcelain tiles arranged in diagonal stripes by Joseph Perrin. [1][2] West Lake opened along with the West Line on December 22, 1979.[1]
