"...the PATH Foundation believes it has found a way to connect the downtown park with the Silver Comet Trail's starting point in Cobb County at the Chattahoochee River. The missing link can be solved by using one of Georgia Power's major utility corridors...

Utility companies have transmission lines traversing all over the metro area and the state often directly connecting towns and cities. It would be wonderful if those high-power transmission lines could be buried and those easements could become corridors for alternative transportation."
