The City of Sandy Springs is developing a plan for the “Crossroads” area, which includes the area east and west of Roswell Road from I-285 to the southern end of The Prado shopping center. The goal of the plan is to address the current and future needs of the community while envisioning how the area could evolve in the next 10-15 years.

The current City Center Master Plan was adopted in 2012. The update considers the needs and desires of the community to address land use and development patterns, transportation and parking management, economic development, and place-making opportunities. It establishes a 10-year vision for the City Springs district.
