SANDY SPRINGS, Ga. — Sandy Springs adopted the Safety Action Plan April 15, working with the Georgia DOT to achieve zero fatal and serious injury crashes by 2040 on city-owned streets. The yearlong planning process began with a $360,000 federal grant to prepare a strategy to eliminate roadway fatalities within the city limits. Sandy Springs Transportation and Traffic Manager Kristin Wescott said her staff recommends approval of the final draft. Fatal and serious-injury crashes jumped 50 percent from the 2013-17 to 2018-22 reporting periods in the city. The most overrepresented factors involved distracted driving or texting, large trucks and impaired drivers. More than two-thirds of car crashes in Sandy Springs occur on state routes or interstates. In fact, only 34 percent of the 27,502 crashes occurred on city streets. The Safety Action Plan is more than 130 pages laying out ways to make driving around Sandy Springs easier and safer. Recommendations include nearterm policies and strategies around education and emergency response with

“The biggest change from our old headquarters to our new one is first and foremost the legitimacy, and also the transparency; It’s the citizens’ facility,” Millholland said. “Not being spread out over a business complex, allows us to work with our court services and other divisions within the department.”
