Open House Planned For Roswell Road, Grogans Ferry Intersection

SANDY SPRINGS, GA -- The city of Sandy Springs will hold an open house to lay out plans to improve safety and traffic flow at Roswell Road's intersection with Grogans Ferry Road.

The public information open house will be held from 6 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 26 at City Hall.

The current intersection, which is located near QuikTrip just north of Sandy Springs City Hall, is served by stop sign control on side street approaches, with travel speeds on Roswell Road "too high for existing conditions," the city said.

Between 2014 and 2016, there were 27 accidents and 56 injuries reported related to this intersection (SIGN UP: Get Patch's Daily Newsletter and Real Time News Alerts. Or, if you have an iPhone, download the free Patch app).

The proposed project calls for realigning the intersection and installing a traffic signal. It would also provide access management in keeping with The Next Ten Small Area Plan for Roswell Road, which calls for the development of functional boulevard areas.

The project is included within the Transportation Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax program approved by Fulton County votes in a November 2016 referendum.

The open house will be held in the Council Chambers at City Hall, which is at 7840 Roswell Road Building 500.
