Sandy Springs Circle Input Meeting On Wednesday

SANDY SPRINGS, GA -- This week, the city of Sandy Springs will host a public information open house to update the community on planned improvements along Sandy Springs Circle.

A short presentation is planned as a general overview during the open house, which will be held at 7 p.m. Wednesday, Aug. 17 in the Council Chambers at Sandy Springs City Hall.

Exhibits of the project, which will run from Hammond Drive to Mt. Vernon Highway, will be on display, and city staff will be on hand to answer questions about the project.

The Sandy Springs Circle project incorporates infrastructure improvements as outlined in the City Springs Master Plan, which will improve pedestrian access, including a multi-use path (west side of the corridor) and a continuous Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) compliant pedestrian path along each side of Sandy Springs Circle from Hammond Drive to Mt. Vernon Highway.

The west side of Sandy Springs Circle will include a 12-foot wide multi-purpose path, 6-foot wide landscape/furniture zone, 6-foot wide sidewalks and a 10-foot wide tree/utility strip. Canopy street trees and light fixtures will be located on both sides of the road.

The east side of Sandy Springs Circle will consist of a 10-foot sidewalk and 2-foot utility/tree strip, including a wall within this strip in various locations. An 8-foot wide sidewalk will be located adjacent to the Heritage Green Park.

The existing four-lane roadway will be modified to provide one, 11-foot wide travel lane in each direction, a 10-foot median/left turn lane and an 8-foot wide parking lane.

The Council Chambers are in Building 500 at 7840 Roswell Road.
