SANDY SPRINGS, Ga. (October 14, 2020) - The City of Sandy Springs will host a virtual public meeting on Monday, October 26, 2020, to gain input on final concepts to enhance access and connectivity to the Chattahoochee River. Start time is 6:00 p.m. The meeting will include a short presentation and an opportunity for the public to provide input on three Chattahoochee River access concept plans:

• Crooked Creek
• Morgan Falls
• Roswell Road (west of the Chattahoochee River Bridge)

Creating access to the Chattahoochee River and its public lands is one of six strategic initiatives recommended by the North End Redevelopment Task Force in 2018, as part of an effort to rejuvenate the northern end of Sandy Springs. This planning effort by the City of Sandy Springs is designed to explore the potential for improving access and connectivity to the river, trails, and parks.

The feasibility study encompasses identifying possible locations and methods to create access to the Chattahoochee River in topographically challenging areas. It seeks to determine how to connect these areas to the City’s Trail Master Plan.
