Project Description

The Mt. Vernon Highway Corridor Improvements project will improve vehicular and pedestrian safety from the Sandy Springs Library to the Sandy Springs MARTA Station. A multi-use path will be constructed on the south side of Mt. Vernon Highway, and 6-foot-wide sidewalks will be constructed on the north side.

New turn lanes will be added at the following intersections:

• Glenridge Drive
• Barfield Road
• Crestline Parkway
• Peachtree Dunwoody Road
• Perimeter Center West

Traffic signal upgrades will also be included. Construction is estimated to take approximately two years to complete.

The Mt. Vernon Corridor Multi-use Path is included within the Transportation Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax (T-SPLOST) program approved by voters in Sandy Springs and Fulton County as part of the November 2016 referendum.

This project aligns with the City’s adopted Bike/Pedestrian Plan, Comprehensive Plan, and Last Mile Connectivity initiatives. The path will also provide connectivity to proposed multi-use paths on Peachtree Dunwoody Road and Path 400.

Funding Sources: TSPLOST and Perimeter CID
