Sandy Springs fast-tracks major sidewalk expansion project. Sixteen million dollar citywide program; Lake Forrest Drive construction starts this year.
Martin said the last right-of-way needed for the project will be acquired in the next two weeks after a new homeowner closes on the property. The construction bid will also go out in the next two weeks, setting up construction this year.
Sandy Springs is accelerating $16M+ in sidewalk and sidepath construction citywide, with near-term construction on Lake Forrest Drive toward Chastain Park - restaurants along these corridors should expect temporary construction disruption followed by a medium-term walkability-driven foot traffic uplift.
Construction bid going out within two weeks; Lake Forrest Drive phase two construction starts 2026; citywide program ongoing through 2026-2027.
