Springway trail segment nearly complete in Sandy Springs; boardwalk over Orkin Lake highlighted
Summary
City staff said Springway, a little more than 1.5-mile trail segment linking Overlook Park to Roswell Road via Cimarron Parkway, is nearing completion; a boardwalk over Orkin Lake will be a centerpiece. An official opening date was not specified.
City staff announced that Springway, a new trail segment a little more than 1.5 miles long connecting Overlook Park to Cimarron Parkway and up to Roswell Road in Sandy Springs, is nearing completion, and that a scenic boardwalk over Orkin Lake will be a centerpiece.
The staff member said the segment is “the first piece of the larger plan, which will ultimately provide the community with a 5 mile loop trail.” The project team described construction as a multistep process: crews installed supports across Orkin Lake, poured the concrete pathway and installed the railing. “The finishing touches are still being placed on the trail,” the staff member said, and the city will announce details about the official opening later.
The city framed the segment as the opening leg of a planned five-mile loop that will expand walkable connections between parks and nearby streets. No opening date, budget figures or contractor names were provided in the remarks. Staff encouraged residents to follow the city’s social media channels for updates on the official opening and other projects.
No formal motions, votes or policy actions were recorded in the transcript about Springway during this briefing.
