Should Sandy Springs rename Roswell Road?

Sandy Springs officials may not be able to fix Roswell Road but they want to give it a new name.

“We’re trying to get the whole Roswell Road corridor upgraded,” Sandy Springs Mayor Eva Galambos said. “So, why not upgrade the name?”

At Tuesday night’s City Council meeting, officials threw out a few suggestions

  • Roswell Boulevard (so businessowners wouldn’t need all new stationery)
  • Sandy Springs Boulevard (to eliminate “Roswell” completely)
  • Main Street

But even officials understand that a name change won’t get rid of the corridor’s clogged traffic or the big box stores

“You can’t just change the name—everything else must come with it,” she said.

So, should Sandy Springs re-name their signature corridor? Do you have suggestions?
