The fireworks display for Ahwatukee has been moved for the last several years to Rawhide. While there was decent effort to make this a great event, it is not working. The traffic alone has made this an event that is not family-friendly or fun. This event takes away the "community" feeling that Ahwatukee is known for. Bringing the display back to Ahwatukee would lessen traffic issues and give the residents of Ahwatukee a time to meet and greet one another and enjoy our neighbors! It is only right that an event sponsored by the Ahwatukee Chamber of Commerce, remain in Ahwatukee.
I have requested a formal meeting with the Ahwatukee Chamber of Commerce to present the logistical concerns regarding the Rawhide venue. Our goal is to secure a commitment to review local options that prioritize neighborhood accessibility for the next display.
July 7, 2008
The level of traction this initiative has gained confirms that our community demands a change in venue. I am scheduling a meeting with the Chamber of Commerce board to present these concerns formally.

Rawhide is way to far and the parking is a circus. moved here for the community feel and this would help bring that back.
