The crowd at the June 18 Sandy Springs City Council work session looks at a regionwide crash analysis, part of the development of the city’s Safety Action Plan. The U.S. Department of Transportation’s Safe Streets and Roads for All program provides implementation grants to cities who complete an action plan.
SANDY SPRINGS, Ga. — Sandy Springs announced it will host two community meetings for its Safety Action Plan Aug. 29 to get input on its effort to curb car crashes. The first meeting is from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the North Fulton Government Services Center on Roswell Road, followed by another at City Hall off Galambos Way from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. Both meetings will cover identical content in an openhouse format with presentations offered once an hour. The planning team will give an overview of the process, highlight crash trends and gather community input on potential solutions for road safety. The Sandy Springs Safety Action Plan, like ones developed in cities across Metro Atlanta, looks to reduce or prevent fatal and serious-injury crashes on all roadways. At a January City Council meeting, elected officials approved a contract with Gresham Smith to analyze crash data, identify high-injury networks and identify underserved communities that may be disproportionately affected by fatal and serious injury crashes.

Sandy Springs attorney now chairs Fulton elections board By HAYDEN SUMLIN hayden@appenmedia.com ATLANTA — A Sandy Springs attorney, Sherri Allen, is the new chair of the Fulton County Board of Registration and Elections after county commissioners approved her nomination at a July 29 special-called meeting.
The confirmation vote was 6-0, with District 5 Commissioner Marvin Arrington Jr. abstaining. Allen is a Sandy Springs resident and practicing attorney. She operates her own firm in the city, specializing in wrongful death, medical negligence, nursing home abuse, social security and veterans’ claims.
Allen is not new to serving her community. She is chair of the Sandy Springs Board of Appeals, legal assistance manager for The Warrior Alliance and on the board of Solidarity Sandy Springs. Nominated by Fulton County Board of Commissioners Vice Chair Khadijah Abdur-Rahman, Allen is the third per-
son to chair the Board of Registration and Elections this year. In April, former Chair Patrice Perkins-Hooper left for an interim role as Atlanta’s city attorney after less than a year chairing the elections board.
