Mount Vernon Rd. between Sandy Springs Circle and Roswell Rd. should reopen in the next few weeks.  Following the opening of Mt. Vernon, a portion of Hildebrand Drive will be closed for construction work and there will be lane closures starting early next year on portions of Sandy Springs Circle as sewer work is done.  The traffic circles at Riverside Dr. and I-285 should be completed by year-end, as should the road work at Heards Ferry and Raider Dr. in front of Riverwood High School.  For a full list of Sandy Springs road projects, please click here.

The Marsh Creek Park on Johnson Ferry Rd., just north of the fire station, will officially open with a ribbon cutting on December 6th at 11 a.m.  This project will not only provide meaningful watershed relief in and around City Springs, it will be a beautiful park and a terrific amenity for our community.

The Fulton County T-SPLOST bill passed on Tuesday, with over 24,000 (57%) of Sandy Springs voters voting "yes".   The margin of favorable support in Sandy Springs was one of the highest in the county and is a reflection on how important traffic issues are to our citizens.  Beginning 4-1-17 through 3-31-22, Fulton County's sales tax rate will increase from 7% to 7.75%, generating about $570 million in tax revenues county-wide.  Sandy Springs should receive the largest percentage ($100 million+ over 5 years) with all funds being invested in roads, sidewalks, bike paths and other transportation initiatives.

The Next 10 comprehensive plan is nearing completion and our citizens will have two more meetings in which to evaluate the plans and express their views.  The Next 10 Plan will define the future direction of Sandy Springs for a decade or more and your input is crucial.  The final public meetings are Wednesday, November 16th, at 9:30 a.m. at the Chastain Horse Park and at 5:30 p.m. at the Sherwood Events Facility at 8610 Roswell Rd. in north Sandy Springs.  For more information, please click here.
