The hugely popular eastern stretch of the Beltline has experienced three armed robberies since opening in October. “The perception that it’s dangerous is probably more dangerous than the danger itself,” said John Wolfinger, neighborhood watch commander for the Virginia-Highland area. Following the robberies, The Atlanta Beltline Inc. installed numbered markers every quarter of a mile on the Beltline, and a representative says there are plans to install extra lights and cameras.
