Sandy Springs Approves Trail Construction Contract

Mayor and Council awarded a contract to JHC Corporation to begin construction on a segment of a trail that will provide access to the Chattahoochee River. The project is part of the Sandy Springs Trail Master Plan. The 1.88-mile segment connects Morgan Falls Overlook Park to Roswell Road at Cimmarron Parkway. The project consists of the construction of an 8'–12' wide multi-use, 5-inch concrete and 6-inch pervious concrete trail, retaining walls, drainage structures, pedestrian bridges, top-down boardwalk with concrete decking, roadway realignments, landscaping, and trail signage.

The City applied for and received a Georgia Department of Natural Resources Georgia Conserve Grant in the amount of $3,000,000 under the Georgia Outdoor Stewardship Program. The project is estimated to cost $7,800,000. The City is required to provide a cash match to cover the remaining construction costs of approximately $4,800,000.
