In September 2009, the City of Sandy Springs launched its new 911 center, the Chattahoochee River 911 Authority. The State of Georgia gives jurisdictions the ability to assess up to a $1.50 fee per phone line (landline, mobile, and VoiP) per month to assist with the funding of location-based technology to ensure that emergency responders are dispatched to the correct location. Prior to September 1, 2009, these fees were remitted to Fulton County, since they provided the 911 call answering and emergency dispatching services.
Now that your City has opened 911 operations, we are entitled to receive the 911 fees you already pay to help support its operation. While the majority of the fees from Sandy Springs phone lines were redirected to the city, we are aware of several that have not. We are asking that you check your telephone bill (October 2009 or later) to ensure that the fee is being sent to Sandy Springs and complete one of the following brief surveys to provide us with the requested information.
Sample bills: AT&T | Comcast | SouthernLINC | Sprint/Nextel | T-Mobile | Verizon

PRESS RELEASE | For Immediate Release | 2/8/2010
The City of Sandy Springs and the Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT) are working closely on an aggressive schedule to reduce traffic congestion and improve safety at the Roswell Road/I-285 interchange bridge. The project will include the construction of additional width on the northbound(east) side of the existing bridge. This will allow for two, 11’ wide, northbound and southbound travel lanes as well as two full, 11’ wide, dedicated left turn lanes onto the entrance ramps for I-285. The current bridge has five, 10’ wide, travel lanes. Additional width to the westbound and eastbound on ramps for I-285 will be constructed to accommodate dual ramp meters and additional storage capacity. Short sections of concrete raised median are also proposed at both ends of the bridge to improve operational circulation.

Traffic on Roswell Road has improved due to better timed signals resulting in a savings of time and fuel to the traveling public of $1.4 million. That’s what the City of Sandy Springs Public Works Department and private company Geostats reports. The completion of Sandy Springs’ Traffic Management Center (TMC) played a role as staff was able to use the TMC to see what type of conditions existed on the streets and adjust changes along the whole corridor as compared to only seeing the timing from intersection to intersection upon a visual inspection.
