Public input needed on Roswell/Abernathy intersection in Sandy Springs

Residents have until Monday, March 29 to provide comments on the Roswell Road at Abernathy Road Intersection Improvements.

Following a safety study, seven initial improvements were identified to reduce crashes in the area.

Signalize right-turn movement from westbound Abernathy Road to northbound Roswell Road
Shorten end of east median by 20 feet (Abernathy Road)
Modify southbound overhead signs (Roswell Road)
Install barrier separation between southbound through & left-turn lanes (Roswell Road)
Restripe the northwest corner of the intersection (Abernathy Road)
Extend raised median at south Publix driveway
Increase pedestrian crosswalk time

The total cost to implement all seven recommendations is $332,000. The city is seeking support from GDOT to pay for the construction.
