News Beltline hiking trails to (sometimes) feature majestic horses
Posted by Thomas Wheatley @thomaswheatley on Tue, Dec 22, 2009 at 4:47 PM
The 22-mile loop of parks, trails and transit will also include horsies.
From the Midtown Ponce Security Alliance's most recent newsletter:
The bridges along the Beltline’s Northeast hiking trail, including the one that crosses over Ponce de Leon, will be designed and constructed to accommodate APD mounted police. Horses will be able to walk freely from Piedmont Park to Dekalb Avenue, including access points to Freedom Park Trail and Historic Fourth Ward Park, within a few months.This will allow greater police surveillance of that section of the Beltline as well as the Historic Fourth Ward Park. The mounted police division, currently active at Piedmont Park, will expand their patrol routes to include the Beltline right-of-way, the vicinity of (soon to be formerly) City Hall East, and the New Fourth Ward Park.

Hehe. You busted me, AMB. The Beltline is a 22-mile loop around Atlanta's urban core, touching West End, Peachtree Hills, Ansley Park and Grant Park and more than 40 other intown neighborhoods. Fictitious sources who whisper to me in my dreams say someway, somehow, RCMP will play a role in the project.
