Bicycle and Mounted Police Patrols
The Harrisburg Hike and Bike Trail has additional security in the form of bicycle and horse patrols during daylight hours. The Harris County Precinct 6 Constable provides 3 officers on bicycles and the Houston Police Department, Eastside Division, provides a horse-officer patrol on the trail daily. These two East End law enforcement agencies have joined forces to interact with the neighborhoods along this well-travelled trail. The officers will also report overgrown trees and shrubs, lighting deficiencies, and graffiti to the Greater East End Management District for quick resolution. Thank you to the following East End bike sponsors who are helping provide additional bicycles for the patrol:
McDonald’s on Harrisburg

REPORTING STREET LIGHT OUTAGES
Anyone can report street light outages, and CenterPoint will repair them in 3 days if the problem is the bulb or something simple. If the power feed has failed then it may take longer. There is no cost to the person reporting the outage! When you see one not working, write down the six-digit number on the street side of the pole as you will need to enter it so CenterPoint knows the location.
