Featured Transportation Projects

TS191: Johnson Ferry Road/Mt Vernon Highway

The project aims to enhance vehicular and pedestrian mobility while reducing congestion by addressing the bottleneck conditions affecting east-west traffic on Johnson Ferry Road and Mount Vernon Highway, as well as north-south traffic on Roswell Road. Additionally, the installation of continuous sidewalks on both sides of Johnson Ferry Road and Mount Vernon Highway will improve pedestrian mobility. Restoring Johnson Ferry Road and Mount Vernon Highway to two-way operation just east of Roswell Road will further eliminate the need for east-west traffic to rely on Roswell Road.

TS192: Mt Vernon Highway Corridor

The Mount Vernon Highway Corridor Improvements will improve vehicular and pedestrian safety from the Sandy Springs Library to the Sandy Springs MARTA Station. A multi-use path will be constructed on the south shoulder of Mount Vernon Hwy, and six-foot-wide sidewalks will be constructed on the north.  New turn lanes will be added to the following intersections: Glenridge Drive, Barfield Road, Crestline Parkway, Peachtree Dunwoody Road, and Perimeter Center West. Traffic signal upgrades will also be included. Construction is estimated to take approximately two years to complete.

PATH400 Multi-Use Trail Extension

The PATH400 Multi-Use Trail will extend the existing 5.1-mile path from Loridans Drive north to the GA 400/I-285 Interchange. The path will be built primarily within the existing Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT) right-of-way along GA 400. The extension will also provide connectivity to the proposed multi-use paths on Peachtree Dunwoody Road and Mount Vernon Highway. 

Hammond Drive Improvements

The project will add a multi-use path along both sides of Hammond Drive, with dedicated pedestrian crossings at four locations between Roswell Road and Glenridge Drive, improving pedestrian and bicycle movement and safety in the area. The proposed concept includes areas for green space between the roadway and multi-use paths as well as along the south side of the new roadway. The Hammond Drive improvements will help better connect both sides of the Glenridge Hammond neighborhood by providing direct bicycle and pedestrian access from one side of Hammond Drive to the other via an underpass at Kayron Drive

Featured Facility Projects

Abernathy Arts Center

The existing stone arts building at the Abernathy Arts Center needs significant repairs and updates. Due to the unsafe and unstable condition of the building, the City of Sandy Springs is proposing a state-of-the-art replacement facility. This new facility will add art programming spaces to the existing site. Fabrication of final design is anticipated to begin late summer 2025, with an opening of the facility in early 2026.
