INFORMATION:

Creating access to the Chattahoochee River and its public lands is one of six strategic initiatives recommended by the North End Redevelopment Task Force in 2018, as part of an effort to rejuvenate the northern end of Sandy Springs. This planning effort by the City of Sandy Springs is designed to explore the potential for improving access and connectivity to the river, trails, and parks.

The feasibility study includes identifying possible locations and methods to create access to the Chattahoochee River in topographically challenging areas, and seeks to determine how to connect these areas to the City’s Trail Master Plan. The final plan is expected to include a comprehensive review of existing conditions, a concept plan for each site identified, and a pathway for approval from regulatory agencies that govern properties in the river corridor.
