Sidewalks
The City's Sidewalk Improvement Policy was created to provide a objective, consistent method to prioritize sidewalk projects.
Sidewalks constructed as part of the Capital Improvement Program (CIP) follow the Sidewalk Network Master Plan and focus on overall mobility needs. With new construction, developers install sidewalks or provide funding as required by the City’s development regulations and impact fee ordinance. The neighborhood sidewalk program is a way to partner with the neighborhoods to provide primarily recreational and amenity features to local residential streets.
City of Sandy Springs staff has evaluated the Sidewalk Network Master Plan due to the number of requests for sidewalks on streets not on the existing plan. Proposed additions were presented and adopted by the City Council on January 16, 2024.
