The trail in question is officially called SR 400. The trail is 2.3 miles long and it connects to Atlanta’s PATH400 on the CID’s outskirts. The council has given its approval for an application to be made to the U.S. Department of Transportation for the 2023 Rebuilding American Infrastructure with Sustainability and Equity (RAISE) Discretionary Grant Program for the PATH 400 Trail Extension project. City documents tend to feature official Letterheads on them.
The minimum amount of money that can be awarded for this grant is $5m. Official city documents state that:
“Funds for the FY 2023 RAISE transportation grants program will be awarded for surface transportation infrastructure projects that will have a significant local or regional impact.”
The goal of the project is to acquire extra construction funding to extend the trail by 1.8 miles. This will extend the trail toward the north from the limits of Sandy Springs to Johnson Ferry Road. The extension will ultimately link to the I-285/Ga. 400 interchange improvement project.
The city has made a request for $5,711,050 for the project, which would need Sandy Springs to provide a match of $1,427,762. If approved, the project will have a total estimated cost of $7,138,812. Construction is currently slated to commence this summer.
