Georgia Power crews are installing dozens of pedestrian lights along Morgan Falls Road in Sandy Springs, covering the stretch from Roswell Road to Morgan Falls Overlook Park, a Sandy Springs staff member said.
The announcement said the lights "will not be energized until after the parade," referring to the city's upcoming lantern parade. City officials said the lights, once switched on, are expected to improve safety for people walking along Morgan Falls Road and for drivers on the winding section of the road.
The work is a visible upgrade to the route leading to Morgan Falls Overlook Park and was framed as a safety measure for parade attendees and other pedestrians. The staff member also encouraged residents to monitor the city's social media channels for project updates, saying, "Be sure to follow us on social media for updates on projects happening around the city."
No formal vote, funding amount, installation schedule, or contractor contract number was specified in the announcement. The identity of the exact Georgia Power crews or any permitting details were not mentioned in the transcript.
