THIS HOLIDAY 

SEASON . . . 

Wishing you and your family a happy 

and joyful holiday season. It’s that 

special time of year when 

we gather with our 

friends and family to 

appreciate the many 

diverse celebrations that 

occur during the month 

of December. On behalf 

of Greenwood Village, we 

wish you the gift of love, 

the gift of peace, and the 

gift of happiness this 

holiday season. 

Ron Rakowsky 

rrakowsky@ As you start your holiday 

greenwoodvillage.com shopping and engage in 

303-486-5741 special meals, we ask that 

you shop and dine in 

Greenwood Village this holiday 

season. Here are some very important 

reasons why: 

• An array of choice for any 

lifestyle. The Village is home to an 

array of service oriented businesses, 

specialty shops and homegrown 

businesses with unique items for 

all ages. 

• Our sales taxes are lower! When 

you shop in the Village, you pay 

less sales tax. Our sales tax rate is 

actually lower than most metro 

area cities. 

• Support your local government 

services. Of the 7.25% sales tax 

you pay on purchases in the 

Village, 3% comes back to your 

community which makes up a 

significant portion of our general 

fund revenues. The general fund 

provides funding for services such 

as police protection, parks and 

recreation programs, street 

maintenance, and road 

improvements. 

• Support local merchants and 

their employees. Business owners 

and their employees pay taxes in 

the Village. These businesses donate 

to local charities and organizations 

and provide for our community in 

many other ways. By shopping and 

dining locally, you contribute to the 

economic growth of the business, 

thus contributing to the economic 

vitality of our local economy.

local businesses online at

HELP US WITH 

FOOD AND SOCKS 

FOR THE LESS 

FORTUNATE 

This holiday season, Greenwood 

Village, in partnership with Golden 

Hearts of Greenwood and the Sock It 

To Em Sock Campaign, is collecting 

new and used socks, as well as nonperishable 

food items for the homeless 

and families that are less fortunate and 

may be struggling in this economy for 

various reasons. Cases of food are 

needed and the following items are 

requested: 100% boxed juice drinks; 

canned vegetables; canned soups; 

canned tuna and chicken; canned fruit 

and fruit cups; all types of pasta; 

canola and olive oil; peanut butter; 

canned kidney, black and pinto beans; 

oatmeal; cereals; spaghetti sauce; 

crackers; canned chili, canned beef 

stew; dry milk, evaporated milk, and 

boxed shelf stable milk; healthy snacks 

like granola bars, nuts and dried fruit; 

and any other non-perishable food 

items that would feed children and 

families including meals for the 

holiday. 

Making a donation of food and socks 

is a wonderful way of giving back and 

can help our children appreciate what 

they have when families join together 

for a heartwarming task like this one. 

Please drop off socks and food to City 

Hall, 6060 South Quebec Street or the 

Maintenance Facility, 10001 East 

Costilla Avenue through December 

31. Socks will delivered to the 

homeless and all food will be given to 

organizations that serve the south 

Denver area. Let’s make a difference 

together.

DR. HARRY BULL 

NAMED 

STATE’S TOP 

SUPERINTENDENT 

Congratulations to Superintendent 

of Cherry Creek School District 

Dr. Harry Bull for his designation as 

the state’s top superintendent for 2017 

by the Colorado Association of School 

Executives. Dr. Bull was commended 

for his commitment to excellence for 

all students, his tireless advocacy work 

and his leadership in the fight for 

adequate school funding across the 

state. Dr. Bull has been Cherry Creek’s 

Superintendent since 2013 after 

decades spent in the district as teacher, 

principal and administrator. 

I’ve had the privilege of interacting 

with Dr. Bull on numerous occasions 

and I can attest that this gentleman is 

a true leader and advocate for our 

children and public education. His 

resume is very impressive, and his 

accomplishments and commitment 

to excellence go above and beyond 

status quo. I want to share a published 

quote he gave upon receiving his 

award. This will give you some insight 

about his character and the type of 

leader he is. 

“I’m truly honored, I’m humbled and 

I’m a little overwhelmed. I’m still 

trying to get my head around this. I’m 

blessed to have the opportunity to 

serve as the superintendent of Cherry 

Creek Schools,” Bull said. “What this 

continued on page 4 

Dr. Harry Bull 

DECEMBER 2016 | GV NEWSLETTER PG. 3

GOVERNMENT 

MAYOR RON reports 

continued from page 3 

means for me is that there’s a recognition statewide about the 

work that goes on inside of the district every single day. I’m 

the person who gets the name on the plaque — I get that — 

but this is really about the work that our teachers do in the 

classroom, our staff that works with kids every day, the 

building leadership team and the leadership at central office. 

“It’s about the people,” Bull added. 

UPDATED RECREATION 

REIMBURSEMENT POLICY 

One of the great benefits of living in Greenwood Village is 

you get paid to play as part of the Village’s Recreation 

Reimbursement program. The program offers recreation 

reimbursement to residents of up to $500 per primary 

residence annually. In a nutshell, the Village reimburses you, 

up to $500 per year for activities offered by an approved 

agency including golf at a municipal golf course, membership 

at Greenwood Athletic Club, youth sports through nonprofit 

youth sport agencies and more. Agencies must be 

within the Denver Regional Council of Governments 

(DRCOG) area and includes municipal and special 

recreation districts such as South Suburban Parks and 

Recreation District and Metropolitan Districts such as the 

Greenwood Athletic Club Metropolitan District and 

Sundance Hills Metropolitan District. 

I want to make you aware of a change City Council adopted 

regarding how the program is administered by staff. Effective 

December 1, reimbursement checks will be mailed to the 

residential address listed on the form; checks can no longer 

be picked up at City Hall. This will help ensure the 

requester is a current resident of the address submitted. In 

addition, reimbursement requests must be submitted for the 

year in which the payment was made, not the year in which 

the activity takes place if different. Annual memberships are 

also reimbursed for the year in which payment was made 

and are not eligible for further reimbursement until the 

RAMBLE WITH RON 

Due to the fall and winter seasons, Ramble with Ron will be 

suspended until the spring. If you have some ideas or 

suggestions about living or working in Greenwood Village that 

you would like to share with Mayor Ron Rakowsky, send him 

an email at rakowsky@greenwoodvillage.com or call the 

Mayor’s Office at 303-486-5745. 

annual membership is renewed the following year. The 

exception being annual membership (12 months paid in 

advance) that is paid in December to take advantage of a 

membership sale for the following year shall be applied to 

the following year. 

Don’t forget — the deadline for submittal of all 2016 receipts 

for reimbursement requests will be accepted until 5 p.m. on 

Tuesday, January 17, 2017. 

We hope you and your families enjoy this great benefit as a 

resident of Greenwood Village. Additional information is 

available on Page 23 of this Newsletter. For questions related 

to the program or learn how to request a reimbursement, 

please call Parks, Trails, and Recreation at 303-486-5773,

MAKING A difference 

OUR 2016 ACCOMPLISHMENTS 

In 2016, the City Council committed the necessary financial resources to continue to deliver the high quality services to our 

residents and business community. These services include police protection, road construction, street maintenance, snow and ice 

control, trash removal, large item pickup, recreation reimbursement program, recreation and arts programs, and a multitude of 

other services. In addition to our quality service delivery, provided below are some of our major accomplishments Village staff 

achieved during 2016. 

KEEPING YOU SAFE FROM 

DANGER AND INJURY 

Phase I Of Maintenance Facility 

And PD Crime Lab Completed 

In an effort to improve the safety, cleanliness and overall 

appearance of the Village, citizens now benefit from even 

greater service as a result of improvements to Village 

operations. Phase One of the Maintenance Facility 

modifications included a new fleet maintenance building; 

construction of a new sand and salt storage building for snow 

and ice control materials; expanded material bins to allow for 

bulk purchasing of materials such as mulch; and canopies for 

Village equipment. 

The new Crime Lab is well-equipped and modern. 

Phase One of the Maintenance Facility modifications completed. 

Improvements also included a well-equipped and modernized 

crime lab for the Police Department to meet the 21st century 

demands of policing. The new crime lab now houses new 

state-of-the-art crime lab equipment which can deliver 

forensic services such as the processing of fingerprints; have a 

drying cabinet that is specifically used to dry items that 

contain moisture or blood; and have an area in the lab to 

take close-up photographs of evidence that may present items 

such as hairs, fibers, or blood spatter. The new Crime Lab 

has improved the timeframe of analysis of evidence by the 

Police Department before forwarding to the Colorado Bureau 

of Investigations (CBI) for further analysis. In addition, the 

new building has enhanced the Police Department’s capacity 

to work on cyber, cellular and financial crimes. 

The renovation also includes expanded space to 

accommodate the secure processing, cataloging and storage of 

all types of evidence; a secure area for customers to retrieve 

any property items seized during investigations; a designated 

vehicle processing bay for examination and inspection of a 

vehicle taken for investigation; a secured area for police 

officers to process property and evidence, and an alarm and 

video monitoring system to monitor the facility 24 hours a 

day. 

These modifications to the Maintenance Facility and Police 

Crime Lab were identified as Phase One of planned facilities 

improvements. Phase Two will include renovation of the 

existing Maintenance Facility shop areas, expansion of the 

administrative offices and improved parking for guests and 

employees. At this time, funding for construction of phase 

two has yet to be determined and will require City Council 

approval in the future. The entire project is estimated to cost 

$16,000,000. The cost for Phase One improvements were 

$8,000,000. 

Storm Sewer Lining Project Completed 

The Village completed a major sewer lining project that 

entailed lining several existing metal storm sewer pipes that 

were showing signs of corrosion. Locations for the sewer line 


GOVERNMENT 

improvements were Arapahoe Road at Syracuse Way, 

Orchard Road at Greenwood Plaza Blvd., Yosemite Street at 

Radcliffe, and City Hall. The project also included lining of 

the storm sewer pipe and inlet structure at Quebec Street and 

Progress Circle. Proactively lining the pipes will extend the 

life of the infrastructure and ensure long-term functionality, 

while minimizing the chance of failures in the future. 

Ballfields At Village Greens Park Renovated 

In an effort to make the ballfields safer and more accessible 

for users, all six ballfields at Village Greens Park were 

renovated. The renovation included laser grading the 

transition between the infields and outfields, replacing the 

sod, and adding infield mix to improve drainage of the 

infields during rain events. 

PROTECTING OUR EARTH 

AND ALL LIVING CREATURES 

First Synthetic Turf Field Opens At Village Greens Park 

Residents can now play on the first synthetic turf field at 

Village Greens Park. The installation of synthetic turf on 

Field 11 was a result of the Village protecting its park 

investment. The installation of a synthetic turf field will 

reduce the operational costs of the field by minimizing 

excessive wear and allow recreationists to enjoy unlimited 

play year-round. Allocation of funding of $525,000 for the 

project was provided by City Council in the Village’s annual 

Capital Improvement Program. Maintenance costs are 

estimated to be reduced from $20,000 to $1,200 annually as 

a result of the installation of the synthetic turf. 

The Village’s first synthetic turf field at Village Greens Park. 

Orchard Hills Park Tennis Court Gets Dual Purpose 

The Village resurfaced the Orchard Hills single tennis court 

and added another playful feature for users. In addition to 

tennis, pickleball can also be played at Orchard Hills Park. 

Originally popular with baby boomers, the sport has made a 

generational jump and is becoming an exciting activity for all 

ages. Grab your paddles and walk over to the court to enjoy 

this new amenity in Greenwood Village!

WHERE YOU NEED TO GO 

Final Office Tower Of Village Center Station Underway 

Construction of the third and final phase of the Village 

Center Station mixed-use development in Greenwood Village 

is underway. The last phase of this development includes a 

Charter Communications will occupy the final office tower going 

in Village Center Station. 

306,000 square foot, 12 story, Class A office tower that will 

be 100 percent occupied by Charter Communications. The 

office tower along with a 1,221 space parking structure and 

an additional 18,000 square feet of office/retail space is 

located between the recently completed 11 story CoBank 

Headquarters and the nine story multitenant Village Center 

Station 1 building (VCS I). Both were previously completed 

by Shea Properties and are fully occupied. 

Village Center Station’s prominent location and site amenities 

will be complemented by the architecture of the buildings, 

and a public plaza which was designed to create an outdoor 

amenity for users. The plaza boasts lively retail with patio 

dining and three dramatic water features which are set to 

music and lighting displays. The plaza also creates additional 

outdoor meeting spaces with multiple formal and informal 

seating areas all with Wi-Fi connectivity. For public activities 

there is ample space to accommodate various types of events. 

In addition, the plaza provides a pedestrian connection from 

the office towers to the onsite light rail stop. A grand stair 

within the plaza leads people to and from the station. The 

plaza and the energy it brings to the Arapahoe at Village 

Center Station Light Rail stop will complete the vision for 

this 13.5 acre master planned development.

Goldsmith Gulch Trail Extension And 

Caley Avenue Undercrossing Completed 

Construction of the trail extension along Goldsmith Gulch 

including an undercrossing at Caley Avenue east of Yosemite 

Street was completed in 2016. The trail extension and 

undercrossing is the first phase implementation of the 

Huntington-Caley Master Plan that went through an 

extensive public process and was approved by City Council in 

May 2015. The trail extension takes off from the existing 

trail at Fair Avenue east of Yosemite Street, continues south 

under Caley Avenue and around the Caley Pond to make 

connections to the RTD Arapahoe Road Park-n-Ride and Bus 

Transfer/Light Rail Station as well as the Village Center.

PUBLIC MEETING 

OUTDOOR MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS IN WESTLANDS PARK 

January 26, 2017 at 6:30 p.m. 

Residents are invited to attend a 

public meeting on Thursday, 

January 26, 2017 at 6:30 p.m. in 

the Community Room at City Hall 

to provide input on the 

installation of outdoor musical 

instruments in Westlands Park. 

In 2015, a resident suggested 

the idea of placing outdoor 

musical instruments in a park to 

the Parks, Trails and Recreation 

(PTR) Commission which 

recommended the project’s 

inclusion, and City Council 

approved, in the 2016 Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) budget. A steering committee 

comprised of local school teachers, members of the PTR Commission and the Arts and 

Humanities Council, PTR staff, and the resident who proposed the project was formed. 

The committee reviewed many types of outdoor musical instruments and is proposing a 

grouping based on the sound produced, playability, size, and cost while ensuring a wellrounded 

mix of instruments with a wide public appeal. 

Installation is planned for spring of 2017. For further information, please call Suzanne 

Moore, Director of Parks, Trails, and Recreation at 303-708-6142 or email at

outing with their children to 

hunt for some eggs and take a photo 

with Peter Rabbit. The eggs were 

filled with candy and toys and the 

hunt was divided into three age 

groups, up to eight years of age. 

Another highlight of the event was 

children enjoying lemonade while 

listening to a story read by Peter 

Rabbit. Due to great participation, 

the Egg Hunt will move to Westlands 

Park in 2017. GV DECEMBER 2016 | GV NEWSLETTER PG. 11

GREENWOOD VILLAGE IS 

READY FOR THE SNOW SEASON 

The Village is ready for the snow season. The Snow and Ice 

Program assures roadways are safe and accessible during and 

after snow events. Snow and Ice operations consist of three 

elements: snow plowing, application of materials for traction 

and ice control, and snow removal if safety or accessibility 

have been jeopardized. 

ROADWAYS 

All roadways in the Village are classified into either first or 

second priority. The first priority routes include the high 

volume roadways that connect major sections of the 

community, all school bus routes and residential roadways 

which connect the neighborhood to higher volume roadways. 

Heavy snow accumulations may require repeated passes over 

first priority roadways before second priority roadways are 

plowed. Operations are repeated until the storm stops and all 

roadway surfaces are cleared. 

Snow and ice control operations begin in secondary areas 

(residential neighborhoods) after first priority roadways have 

been cleared. Snow is plowed and piled to an area that does 

not block traffic flow. Snow cannot be piled in the center of 

the roadway because thaw/freeze conditions will cause ice on 

the roadway. Residential roadways are not plowed from curb 

to curb to avoid covering sidewalks and blocking driveways. 

Removal of snow piles will only occur when safety or 

accessibility has been jeopardized. If possible, remove 

vehicles from the roadways during storms for better clearing 

of snow. 

ICE MITIGATION 

There are certain locations in Village neighborhoods that are 

prone to ice formation due to shade or poor drainage. Once ice 

forms, it is difficult to remove without damage to equipment or 

infrastructure. Be on the look-out for snow and ice operators 

moving snow piles from the shade to sun-exposed locations in 

order to minimize ice build-up. 

SNOW SHIFT HOURS 

Village personnel who perform road and park maintenance 

during the summer months conduct snow and ice control 

operations in the winter. A weather service and two remote 

weather information stations provide up-to-the-minute 

information regarding weather conditions. Snow shifts are 

activated when a snowstorm begins. The typical shift hours 

are 5 a.m. to 1 p.m., 1 p.m. to 9 p.m. and 9 p.m. to 5 a.m., 

all days of the week, including holidays. 

EQUIPMENT 

The Village owns and maintains a variety of vehicles to 

ensure effective snow and ice control operations. Equipment 

includes 12 plow trucks, one anti-icing truck, one slide-in 

tanker, one grader, and one loader for snow and ice 

operations on roadways. In addition, there are three ATVs 

(All-Terrain Vehicles), six pickup trucks with plows and many 

hand-held snowblowers and shovels used to clear the trails, 

sidewalks and parking lots. In order to assure that all 

equipment is operational, mechanics are available at all times 

during snow storms to handle any equipment problems. 

USE CAUTION WHEN DRIVING 

NEAR SNOWPLOWS 

When driving near a snowplow, slow down and use caution. 

Give plow drivers plenty of room so they can do their job 

efficiently and safely. 

MATERIALS 

The Village applies solid and liquid materials on the 

roadways for traction and ice control to improve traveling 

conditions during snow and ice events. Staff monitors each 

storm to determine the appropriate application of materials 

depending on the weather conditions. Additionally, materials 

are continually evaluated to identify the most effective 

products with the least amount of environmental impact. 

CONCRETE/ASPHALT TRAILS, 

SIDEWALKS AND PARKING LOTS 

The Village plows snow from concrete and asphalt trails, and 

some sidewalks and parking lots. First priority trails are 


GOVERNMENT 

those leading to and from schools. The parking lot at Village 

Greens Park is the responsibility of the Village along with 

snow control operations on sidewalks and parking lots at 

City Hall, Curtis Arts & Humanities Center and the 

Maintenance Facility. The parking lots of these facilities also 

first priority for snow plowing and are cleared 

simultaneously with the first priority trails. The parking lots 

in other Village owned parks are then cleared. During the 

average snowstorm, it takes about eight hours to clear trails, 

sidewalks and parking lots. Crews often start as early as 4 

a.m. Trail crews periodically check trails for problem areas if 

the temperature remains below freezing for extended periods 

of time. 

QUESTIONS OR TO REPORT 

SNOW AND ICE ISSUES 

For more information regarding snow and ice operations 

in the Village, please call the Maintenance Facility 

at 303-708-6100 or email 

webpublicworks@greenwoodvillage.com. GV 

STEP CAREFULLY 

Thaw/freeze conditions can cause new ice on trails, sidewalks 

and parking lots; always use caution when walking on these 

during periods of freezing weather. 


GOVERNMENT 

GET READY FOR winter 

SNOW AND ICE REMOVAL IN 

RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOODS 

ICE ISN’T NICE! 

It is winter and residents may 

experience ice issues in front of 

their respective properties. The 

ice build-up occurs when melted 

snow flows into gutters and onto 

sidewalks in shaded areas that 

have a north-facing exposure. 

Due to the freeze and thaw cycles 

experienced during winter 

months, some areas may 

experience more severe icing 

than others. 

SAFETY FIRST 

Ice can be a safety hazard for 

children and adults walking in 

the neighborhoods and can cause 

unwanted slip and fall accidents, 

leading to some surprisingly serious injuries. As a resident, 

you can even become a victim to falling on the ice in your 

own driveway or on your sidewalk in front of your property. 

WHAT RESIDENTS CAN DO 

• Keep curb lines in residential areas free of excessive piles 

of snow allowing for the efficient drainage of the melting 

snow. 

• Be aware of shady spots in front of your property caused 

by large trees, shrubbery, parked cars, two story homes, 

etc. which limit the amount of sun and contribute to 

icing issues. Remove snow piles, compacted snow and 

parked cars on north facing properties immediately after 

snow fall. 

• When removing snow from your sidewalk and/or 

driveway, place the snow on your lawn and refrain from 

shoveling or blowing the snow onto the curb or in the 

gutter which can block water flow thus increasing the 

potential of ice dam formations created during freeze thaw 

cycles. 

SNOW REMOVAL ASSISTANCE FOR SENIORS 

Seniors, 60+ or the disabled can call Volunteers of America, 

Colorado Branch, to request assistance as part of their Snow 

Buddies program. Call 720-264-3379 or email 

snowbuddies@voacolorado.org. 

• Clear the snow the length of your property in the 

curb/gutter line to keep it free flowing. Push the snow out 

to the area where the concrete gutter meets the asphalt, 

this extra effort greatly assists in preventing ice dam 

formations 

• Shovel the sidewalks on all sides of your property, the full 

width of the sidewalk down to the pavement. After the 

sidewalk is cleared, sprinkle sand to prevent falls. 

WHAT GREENWOOD VILLAGE DOES 

A “one in and one out” plowing operation in residential 

neighborhoods is implemented. Plow trucks plow from the 

center of the roadway out toward the edge of the roadway in 

both directions. By doing this, snow is equally distributed 

on each side of the roadway leaving a clear path of travel for 

both incoming and outgoing traffic. This snow removal 

method allows for the surface to dry at a quicker rate and 

for the melting snow to flow toward the curb/gutter on both 

sides of the street. Plowing curb to curb in residential areas 

is not performed to avoid covering sidewalks and blocking 

driveways. Snow cannot be piled in the center of the 

roadway because thaw/freeze conditions will cause ice on the 

roadway. 

IT’S THE LAW! 

The law in Greenwood Village requires all residents to 

remove snow and ice from their sidewalks within 48-hours. 

This requirement also includes removal of snow and ice 

from sidewalks in the front and side of a residence (corner 

lots). This requirement does not extend to walkways 

leading from the sidewalk to the residence nor to sidewalks 

or trails abutting the rear property of a residence. Clearing 

snow around mailboxes is also the responsibility of the 

occupant.

VILLAGE POLICE 

DEPARTMENT 

CITIZENS’ ACADEMY 

BEGINS IN 

FEBRUARY 2017! 

SIGN UP TODAY! 

The Greenwood Village Citizens’ 

Police Academy is an important 

component of community 

involvement and citizen outreach. Its 

purpose is to provide a forum whereby 

participants can develop a basic 

understanding of how the Police 

Department functions. It will also 

provide opportunities for ongoing 

communication between members of 

the community and the Police 

Department. 

The next Greenwood Village Citizens’ 

Police Academy will begin on 

Thursday, February 23, 2017, and 

continue through Thursday, May 11, 

2017. The two Saturday sessions, are 

April 8 and May 6, 2017. 

Each three-hour session covers a 

variety of subjects ranging from basic 

law enforcement and its role in the 

community to discussions and 

demonstrations with other specialized 

units: Emergency Response Team 

(ERT), K-9 Unit, Crisis Intervention 

continued from page 16 

Team, Traffic Unit, Accident 

Reconstruction, Crime Prevention, 

Investigations and School Resource 

Officers. Most sessions will have 

hands-on activities such as 

fingerprinting, high-risk traffic stops, 

and use of less-than-lethal weapons. 

During each session, you will be able 

to ask questions and interact with 

police officers. 

As an Academy participant, you will 

receive a comprehensive behind the 

scenes tour of the Police Department, 

including the 9-1-1 Communications

If you are a resident of Greenwood Village or know of a senior or a person with a 

disability who may have a hard time shoveling for any reason, ask your neighbors to 

lend a hand to ensure your entire neighborhood is safe and accessible. Local boy 

scout troops and youth in the neighborhood are great resources to assist with 

residential snow removal. Don’t forget to arrange for someone to shovel your snow 

while you are on vacation or away from your home for a long period of time during 

winter storms.

HOLIDAY 

SAFETY TIPS 

IF YOU ARE TRAVELING 

• Get an automatic timer for your 

lights. 

• Ask a neighbor to watch your 

home, shovel snow, and park in the 

driveway from time to time. 

• Do not forget to have mail and 

newspaper delivery stopped. If it 

piles up, it is a sure sign you are 

gone. 

IF YOU ARE OUT 

FOR THE EVENING 

• Turn on lights and a radio or TV so 

it looks like someone is home. 

• Be extra cautious about locking 

doors and windows when you leave, 

even if it is just for a few minutes. 

• Do not display gifts where they can 

be seen from outside. 

PROTECT YOUR VEHICLE 

Do not leave any valuables in your 

vehicle. Place everything in the trunk 

of the vehicle. 

Always lock your vehicle and store all 

items out of sight. Breaking into an 

empty car isn’t worth a thief’s time. 

However, anything left in plain view 

— from your holiday gifts to spare 

change, sunglasses, GPS devices, CDs, 

cell phones or briefcases – may tempt 

a thief. 

Help prevent your vehicle from being 

stolen by always locking your car and 

using anti-theft devices. In addition, 

although it is cold, never leave your 

vehicle running while you run inside 

your home or a store — even if for 

only a minute or two. 

AFTER YOU’VE 

OPENED THE GIFTS 

Burglars know that many households 

have new, and oftentimes expensive, 

items in their homes following the 

December holidays — especially items 

such as new computers, stereo 

components, televisions, cameras and 

other electronic equipment. In too 

many cases, residents make it easy for 

burglars to figure out which homes to 

target by putting boxes that identify 

their new gifts in plain view with their 

other garbage. Avoid becoming an 

easy target for post-holiday burglars 

by not leaving boxes for new 

electronics and other items at garbage 

pick-up locations for several days at a 

time. Instead, break down any boxes 

you are throwing out, put them in 

garbage bags and place them inside a 

trashcan. Think about keeping 

broken-down boxes inside — in a 

garage, for example — until the 

evening before your regular garbage 

pick-up. Some burglars actually look 

inside garbage cans for evidence of 

holiday gifts. 

CELEBRATE RESPONSIBLY 

The holiday season is a time of 

celebration. Drinking and driving is a 

danger to everyone on the road. 

Anyone with a BAC of .08 or higher is 

in violation of the law and may go to 

jail. Remember that the risk is not 

worth it. If you choose to drink 

alcohol at a party, do not drive. Take a 

cab, use public transportation or a 

designated driver. 

For more information on holiday 

safety, please call the Police 

Department at 303-773-2525. GV

HOLIDAY SHOPPING 

SAFETY TIPS 

With the holidays upon us, the Village 

would like everyone to have a safe 

holiday season. Provided below are 

some safety tips of which to be aware 

and practice when doing your holiday 

shopping. 

• Be aware of your surroundings at 

all times. 

• When shopping, try to park in a 

well-lit portion of the parking lot 

or street. 

• When you park your car, secure the 

valuables that you have left in your 

car by placing them in the trunk. 

Do not leave cellular phones, 

purses, CD cases, laptops, or any 

other item of value in your parked 

car where they can be seen. It is 

better not to leave valuables in 

the car at all. Make sure you close 

your windows, lock your doors and 

activate your car alarm, if you have 

one. 

• Do not leave purchased 

merchandise in your parked car 

where it can be seen. Put these 

items in your trunk, or conceal 

them inside the vehicle. 

• Keep your purse on your body, not 

left in a cart or in the car. If you 

carry a small purse, carry it over 

your shoulder under your coat. Do 

not carry all of your credit cards 

with you. Leave your unneeded 

documents at home. 

• Always be aware of the location of 

your personal items. Know where 

your purse, cellular phone, wallet, 

packages, etc. are at all times. Do 

not leave them unattended. Do not 

overburden yourself with packages. 

• When you are finished shopping, 

have your keys in your hand before 

reaching your car door. Take notice 

of your surroundings. If you see 

that someone is watching you and 

that you may be a potential victim, 

return to the store immediately, and 

call security or the police 

department at 9-1-1. 

• Do whatever you need to keep safe, 

even if it means asking a security 

guard or a police officer to escort 

you to your car. It is always better 

to be safe than sorry. 

If you have any questions or need 

assistance, please call the Greenwood 

Village Police Department at 

303-773-2525 or call 9-1-1. GV 

DOG RULES AND LAWS 

IN GREENWOOD VILLAGE 

RESIDENTS ASKED TO COMPLY 

WITH RESPECT FOR NEIGHBORS 

Animal Control of the Police Department is here to help 

people and animals live harmoniously together in their 

community. Nevertheless, there are times when certain 

behaviors disrupt residents’ peaceful enjoyment of their 

homes or property, and is prohibited in Greenwood Village. 

It is the responsibility of all pet owners to comply with all 

local laws at all times. For more information or to report any 

violation of dog rules and laws in the Village, please call the 

Police Department at 303-773-2525. 

LICENSING 

Greenwood Village no longer requires citizens to register 

their dogs. The Village does recommend that all pets have an 

identification tag on their collar to help return a pet to their 

owner. 

LEASH LAW 

There are no off-leash facilities/parks in Greenwood Village. 

Pet owners are required to follow the Village leash law 

requiring all dogs to be secured with a pet leash in public 

areas of Greenwood Village. 

DOG FECES 

It is illegal for pet owners to leave their pet waste on public 

property in Greenwood Village. Leaving your pet’s waste in 

the grass or on the trail is not only discourteous to others, 

but is very harmful to public health and the environment. 

Dog feces is not fertilizer, not biodegradable, and cannot be 

flushed down the drain. Trash receptacles are provided at all 

Village parks and along trails. If there is no trash receptacle 

nearby, keep a bag with you, pick it up, and dispose of it 

when you get home. 

NUISANCE ISSUES 

A penalty assessment notice may be issued to a person 

charged with a violation of Village Code related to animals, 

including running at large; disturbing the peace; and removal 

of dog feces. GV

EARLY BIRD RESTAURANT 

5425 Landmark Place, Suite 101 • 303-568-9297 

www.earlybirdrestaurant.com • Open 7 a.m. - 6 p.m. daily 

The City of Greenwood Village is delighted to announce the 

addition of the Early Bird Restaurant to The Landmark. 

Passionate Chefs, high quality ingredients, and freshly made 

drinks and dishes are just a few of the elements that will 

make the Early Bird Restaurant your culinary destination of 

choice . . . breakfast, lunch, or happy hour. 

In 2012, Chefs Kristen and Daniel Cofrades opened the first 

Early Bird Restaurant in Westminster, Colorado. The 

inspiration behind the Early Bird name is attributable to the 

Chefs’ daughter who was born prematurely. After continued 

success and increasing popularity, they decided to open a 

second location at The Landmark. According to Kristen, 

Greenwood Village was chosen due to the City’s reputation 

of being great to work in and its vibrant community. With a 

combined 30 years of experience including cooking for 

celebrities and the Pope, the two Chefs are confident they 

can produce a unique, culinary experience suited to meet 

your individual tastes and desires. 

The Chefs are not only passionate when it comes to cooking, 

but are proud to be a Colorado based company that utilizes 

many local, Colorado products on its menu. One example is 

the sausage which is purchased from Old Style Sausage in 

Louisville, and is their own special, in-house recipe prepared 

exclusively for Early Bird. The menu includes items for 

Breakfast, Lunch, Brunch, “Rush Hour,” and is focused on 

fresh, all-natural ingredients. The menu is sure to 

continuously inspire a vast variety of options. From Breakfast 

Tacos to Crème Brulee French Toast to Bacon Wrapped 

Dates & Polenta Pups, there is something for everyone. 

A specially prepared menu for kids is also available as well as 

several gluten-free options. 

In addition to a menu that offers a selection of seasonal, 

high-quality, made-from-scratch meals, the Early Bird at The 

Landmark will also offer a full bar with a selection of unique 

handmade cocktails, craft beer and an eclectic wine list. They 

will offer a happy hour from 2 to 5 p.m. serving small plates 

along with bottles of wine and draft beer. 

When Kristen and Daniel opened Early Bird, they had the 

vision of bringing hospitality accompanied with great food 

together in a friendly environment. The restaurant has a 

history of displaying that small town feel and making it a 

point to know each of their customers by name. The Early 

Bird scene immerses customers in an elevated sense of style 

and sophistication with a big city vibe while maintaining the 

small town comfort and familiarity. 

The Early Bird Restaurant at The Landmark has a private 

dining room space available which patrons can reserve to host 

special catered events or business meetings. They also provide 

catering services from Boulder to the DTC. Similar to the 

restaurant locations, Early Bird Catering consistently provides 

an elevated level of service and food quality for their catering 

clientele. For those on a budget who love the food, they also
