I know that's the plan, but I just don't see them giving up two traffic lanes for it. It will probably be in mixed traffic, which I think would be a total waste.

Another unrealistic (and impractical) idea by another neophytic municipality (that should have never been formed) that has zero chance of being implemented. There is zero support for this even if their officials talked to Atlanta Regional Commission (ARC) and GDOT. They can only hope, and I mean hope, for a private entity whom would want to fund this. There's nothing to see here...

Why do you have a problem with Sandy Springs being a city?

I guess it's like that almost everywhere in the dense parts of town though. I think this would be a better idea than putting a streetcar in that Peachtree traffic.
They proposed a people mover in the Lenox area 25 years ago but the dang thing never got built.

HA!! I've never heard of that plan. That's awesome. Absolutely no way they could pull off that route today, but nice to know they tried once.

Do you know the history of why Sandy Springs exists?
