Bridge plan dispute over ditch near Cocopah School
Parents in the Cocopah School area near 6615 E Cholla Rd Riverside edge across a wide run off ditch that lies in Scottsdale but serves Phoenix students. Cars on 64th Street pose a danger to children crossing the ditch. A 1972 tornado destroyed a prior bridge and Phoenix offered a bike path instead of a full span. The dispute over which city should fund a new foot bridge has persisted for decades with conflicting notes from Wilson and Wuson.
