Public Input Sought On Chattahoochee River Access Points

SANDY SPRINGS, GA — The City of Sandy Springs is conducting a virtual open house to gain input on proposed concepts to improve access and connectivity to the Chattahoochee River. There will be a short video introduction, an overview of the project’s vision and goals, followed by a presentation of the concepts and opportunity for public feedback. Input gathered will be used in finalizing conceptual plans.

The multi-day, virtual open house will be available Monday Sunday.

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.
