Sidewalks

Capital Sidewalk Program

The City's Sidewalk Improvement Policy was created to provide a objective, consistent method to prioritize sidewalk projects.

Sidewalks constructed as part of the Capital Improvement Program (CIP) follow the Sidewalk Network Master Plan and focus on overall mobility needs. With new construction, developers install sidewalks or provide funding as required by the City’s development regulations and impact fee ordinance. 

Information on the Capital Sidewalk Program can be found in the February 2026 Capital Sidewalk Program Presentation. 

The neighborhood sidewalk program referenced in the presentation is a way to partner with the neighborhoods to provide primarily recreational and amenity features to local residential streets.

Requests for additional segments to be scored in the future can be made throughout the year by notifying the City’s Public Works Customer Service representatives by calling 770-730-5600, or by completing the Sandy Springs Sidewalk request form. 

Maintenance

Additionally, the City partners with contractors to assess and fix existing sidewalks that are in need of repair every four years. 

Accessibility Concerns

Information on sidewalks that have been assessed and have had issues resolved can be found in the ADA Transition Plan and by visiting this page.
