Transportation Planning, Black History Month Events, and City Development Updates

Transportation Planning Takes Center Stage

The City of Sandy Springs has officially kicked off its 2026 Transportation Master Plan process, setting the stage for how roads, sidewalks, and transit could evolve over the next decade. City leaders are inviting residents to weigh in on traffic concerns, safety improvements, and options for walking, biking, and transit.

A series of community open houses later this month will give residents multiple chances to share feedback in person. The input gathered will help shape future transportation priorities and guide decisions tied to long-term funding measures.

Black History Month Celebrated at City Springs

Black History Month is being recognized at City Springs with a new gallery exhibition that opened earlier this week. The display highlights history, culture, and contributions through visual storytelling and is open to the public during regular City Hall hours.

City officials say the exhibit is meant to be both reflective and educational, offering residents a chance to engage with local and national history in a shared civic space.

Development Meetings Keep Projects Moving

Thursday marked another full slate of developer meetings at City Hall, as city staff worked with applicants and contractors on ongoing and proposed projects. These sessions are a routine but important part of keeping development reviews on track and ensuring projects meet city standards.

With several meetings held throughout the day, the steady pace of development activity continues to reflect Sandy Springs’ ongoing growth and redevelopment efforts.

What to Watch

Residents can expect more opportunities for public input later this month, particularly around transportation planning. Additional community events tied to Black History Month are also expected as February continues.
