About Sandy Springs
Sandy Springs is a newly incorporated city (as of December 2005) in Fulton County, Georgia, north of Atlanta and south of Roswell. It is named for the sandy springs which still exist in the city today, which are protected as a historic site. With an estimated population of more than 85,000 (2006), Sandy Springs is Georgia's seventh-largest city. It is the second largest of three principal cities (by population)
Geography
The boundaries of Sandy Springs are: Atlanta to the south, Cobb County (at the Chattahoochee River) to the west and north, Roswell (also at the river) to the north, and unincorporated Dunwoody (at the DeKalb County line) to the east. A small panhandle in the northeast extends between the Chattahoochee River to the north and Dunwoody to the south, ending in a very small border with Gwinnett County.
Transportation
Because of the rapid growth Sandy Springs has experienced in recent years and an absence of local government, traffic is a major challenge. City planning and efforts to improve traffic flow are high priority issues to the community.
Roads
Sandy Springs is served by two major limited-access highways, Georgia 400 (which runs north/south) and I-285 (which runs east/west). The major surface streets are Roswell Road (U.S. 19/Ga. 9), Johnson Ferry Road, Abernathy Road, Glenridge Drive, and Dunwoody Club Drive.
The GDOT is currently planning to widen Abernathy between Johnson Ferry and Roswell Roads from two lanes to four plus a road median, which will destroy several homes and their lush landscaping along the residential road. The western intersection will be reconfigured so that traffic to and from Johnson Ferry Road (which now carries heavy loads of Cobb County commuters across the Chattahoochee River at rush hour) will flow directly with Abernathy. It will be given a temporary state highway number which will not be put on signs.
Mass transportation
The major provider of mass transit is MARTA, which operates a heavy rail rapid transit line and several bus lines through Sandy Springs. Sandy Springs is served by the Medical Center, Sandy Springs and North Springs stations. The Georgia Regional Transportation Authority also operates express buses from the North Springs station to other counties.
Schools
Public schools continue to be operated by the Fulton County School System, which groups schools into clusters.
