Sandy Springs outlines year of sidewalks, intersection work, Pav 400 progress and a new pocket park
Summary
A year‑end city update summarized multiple infrastructure projects in Sandy Springs: intersection and corridor improvements expected to wrap up next spring, a completed sidewalk loop on Brandon Mill Road, Pav 400 construction through 2028, and the addition of Burdett Park.
Sandy Springs recorded a year‑end update highlighting a series of transportation and parks projects completed or underway across the city.
The recording said crews have finalized the layout for the Mount Vernon Highway and Johnson Ferry Road intersection improvement project. The update reported traffic pattern changes and a new sidepath alignment are in place, and the project is expected to be completed by spring of next year.
Officials also noted that corridor work on Mount Vernon Highway has produced continuous sidewalks and side paths from Hunting Creek to Glenridge Drive, with that work likewise expected to finish in spring. On Brandon Mill Road, the final phase of a sidewalk project was completed this year, closing a pedestrian loop between Lost Corner Preserve and Abernathy Greenway.
The update described progress on the Pav 400 trail: construction began on segments 1 and 3, which the recording said should be finished by 2028. The city also stated it secured funding for segment 2, with construction on that segment slated to begin in 2026; the recording did not specify the funding source or the amount.
Beyond paths, the city added Burdett Park, a small pocket park at the corner of Johnson Ferry Road and Burdett Drive intended as a resting place for walkers and runners.
The summary closed with a reminder to follow the city on social media for future updates. No formal votes, motions, or requests for council action were recorded in the update.
Next steps noted in the recording were primarily construction timelines: Pav 400 segment work through 2028 and multiple pedestrian projects due to wrap up in spring of next year. Funding details for Pav 400 segment 2 and any permitting or contractor selections were not specified in the recording.
