Sandy Springs staff announced planned striping and minor traffic-pattern upgrades on Hammond Drive and Allen Road as the city's paving program wraps up for the year. The work will include new lane striping and adjustments at several intersections to improve safety and traffic flow.

"We've been hard at work paving dozens of miles of roadway throughout the city. As we prepare to wrap up this year's list of paving, you're gonna start noticing an upgrade in the striping and traffic patterns along 2 roadways in particular," a Sandy Springs staff member said. The staff member identified specific locations on Hammond Drive and Allen Road where drivers will see changes.

The staff member listed the Hammond Drive locations as the intersection with Mount Vernon Highway, near the driveway for Braemore Drive, and at Lake Forest Drive and Sandy Spring Circle. On Allen Road, the upgrades were described as occurring near the intersection with Lake Forest Drive, by Allen Road Park, and near the intersection with Roswell Road.

City staff characterized the changes as "minor upgrades" intended to increase safety and create better traffic flow. The announcement did not include a start date, construction schedule, estimated cost, or details about lane closures. Those details were not specified in the recorded remarks.

There were no formal votes or motions recorded in the transcript regarding this announcement; the remarks were informational. Residents and drivers should expect visual changes to striping and patterns as crews complete the final paving tasks for the year, and the city has not provided additional timelines or contact information in the recorded statement.
