Sandy Springs will hold an open house from 5:30 to 7 p.m., Dec. 12, to discuss the High-intensity Activated crossWalK pedestrian signal safety project for Roswell Road between Long Island Drive and West Belle Isle Road. City representatives will be at Holy Spirit Preparatory School, 4820 Long Island Drive, with plans and displays to discuss the project and answer questions.

The signal is used at locations on major roadways with a high number of pedestrian crossings. The signal can be coordinated to minimize impact to the traffic flow.
