<p>
Cholla Trail at Camelback Mountain is reopening to the public this Friday, Sept. 30, 2022! After an extensive public and development process, we are now open as one of the best local trails in Arizona, if not in the United States. </p>
<p>The trail has been closed due to construction and a trailhead realignment that moves the trailhead from Cholla Lane to Invergordon Road. The new trailhead will now offer hikers amenities such as a drinking fountain, restrooms and bike racks. </p>
<p>I want to personally thank local residents and hikers for their patience in the construction of Cholla Trail. </p>

</p><p>"For more than 30 years, this neighborhood has been victimized, and the perpetrator, City of Phoenix, has not only failed to address the situation, but has been an accomplice to the problem.</p><p>Yesterday, a group of neighbors, business and property owners took matters into their own hands and filed a lawsuit against the City of Phoenix to protect their property and neighborhood. The City failed them, and now this has to be handled by the court. This neighborhood is victimized by violence, infested with drugs, human waste, blight, and personal and property damage on a daily basis.</p><p>No neighborhood should have to bear this burden."<br></p><br>
